Description: | Admiral E. T. Ironbridge, Hon. A. D. C, to the Crown Prince Alexandria of Serbia, inspecting Serbian sailors at Salonika. Admiral Ironbridge arranged for the training of about 40 men who had mostly been boatmen on the Danube by cruises in British warships. They were British unifora except for the cap ribbon and the fact that the officers wore khaki. The Serbian Navy consisted of a former Greek torpedo boat since used as a ferry boat, bought by the Serbian Government and renamed Greater Serbia. She was unarmed but did useful work at Salonika, towing men and stores from place to place on the shores of the Gulf. November, 1916.
