58637: Dinner menu from H.M. Hospital Ship S.S. "Galeka" (First Class)

Menu card from S.S. "Galeka" of the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Line. Requisitioned for the war effort and serving as a hospital ship, she was mined in the English Channel in late 1916.

Editor's Comment:
The first Class dining room was presumably reserved for officers. To the reverse of the menu is a price list of wines, etc.

First employed as a troopship for the Gallipoli campaign, landing the 6th and 7th Bns., Australian Imperial Force, at Anzac Cove on the morning of 25th April 1915.
