HMT Danube Aug 1917 British West Indies Regiment (Jamaica)

Remembering the 10th Battalion (8th Jamaica War Contingent - 31 officers and 1304 men plus men from Antigua, The Bahamas and St. Kitts), of the British West Indies Regiment commanded by Lieut. Colonel Charles Willmore Long, who sailed from Jamaica on 26 August, via Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada arriving in Le Havre, France on 18 September 1917. From the middle of January 1918 the battalion was stationed at Taranto, Italy. All of the men were volunteers. For those who died extra information has been collected from the Soldiers' Effects records, but for lots of these men there are only medal records because they managed to survive; (the medal rolls are however split by island and show their original battalion). So they sailed from home, served in the war and then sailed home again, with the regiment not invited to the Peace (Victory) Parade held in London July 1919 // incomplete.
