700 troops due to sail for India and the far east walked off the S. S. Corfu at Southampton

700 troops due to sail for India and the far east walked off the S.S. Corfu at Southampton. They complain that the ship, a 14, 000 ton carrying 2698 officers and men back to their overseas units is overcrowded, that washing and lavatory accommodation is inadequate, recreation facilities lacking. Bad messing arrangements and a shortage of blankets are also among the mens complaints. The area commander Brig. W.C. A. Hanney addressed the men on the Dockside in an effort to persuade them to go aboard without immediate success.
