Summary edit

Description
English: Farewell to the troopship ASCANIUS at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1916. The black and white photograph depicts an elevated view of the midship deck of the troopship ASCANIUS packed with soldiers who throw streamers to the crowd of civilians on the wharf below. A gangway is still in place with people on it and soldiers are crowded onto the bridge and lifeboats. The bow of the lifeboats are marked `A11' and the reverse of the print has a lead pencil inscription reading `ASCANIUS 27-5-16'.
