Ship identification

The ship is either the HMT Southland (formerly the Vaderland) or HMT Northland (formerly the Zeeland). The other two near-sisters were never UK troopships. I don't think the Northland began as a troopship until later in 1915, so this is more likely the Southland. The Southland was definitely in Alexandria by June 1915, though I'm not sure it was there in April, so a little hesitant on the date. But, presuming the date is correct or near-correct, I think it's the Southland. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:01, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
