S.S. SOUTHLAND
SINKING OF THE SOUTHLAND
A STORY OF HEROISM
('Gazette's' Special Service.)
London, Nov. 16.
A Splendid story is told of the sinking of the tranport Southland in the Mediterranean Sea. When the torpedo struck the vessel rolled and the order was given to abandon the ship.
There was never a cry or sign of fear. The Australian soldiers merely came briskly on deck singing "Australia will be there."
They all went to their stations and lowered the boats in an orderly manner. The subalterns searched the interior of the ship for wounded and finaly came on deck to find only the general staff on board. They helped to lower the last boats and got into a half swamped one themselves.
Fourteen persons were killed by the explosion and twenty two were drowned including Brigadier General Linton.

George Skilandis served under the name "Smith" It was not unusual for men to serve under assumed names. Many men seem to have done so because they had foreign-sounding names. Pte. Smith's mother must have returned the Final Verification Forms to CWGC because she gave her own name and address as next-of-kin. But for whatever reason, she didn't correct the false surname in the official records, but did when it came to the newspapers and the local memorial.
A George Skilander is registered as being born in Liverpool in 1894.

H.M.S. " Champagne," an auxiliary cruiser, carrying a crew of 34 officers and 271 other ratings, was cruising off the West Coast of the Isle of Man on the 9th October, 1917, when she was torpedoed by an enemy submarine. Captain Percy Brown, R.N. , and 46 of the crew of the vessel landed at Port Erin. On the news being received at Government Office, an inspector of police and a doctor were despatched by motor car to Port Erin, to render any assistance possible. At 2 p.m. , the inspector of police reported that 50 of the crew had been landed at that place, one of whom was suffering from wounds and another from shock. At 1 p.m., the Peel lifeboat was launched, and arrangements were made for all fishing vessels lying in Peel Harbour to proceed to the scene of the disaster. At 3 p.m., news was received from Port Erin that 150 of the crew had been landed at Port St. Mary, and at 5 p.m. the Peel lifeboat returned to Peel with 21 survivors. For these latter clothing was obtained from Knockaloe Camp, and medical aid was provided. Harbour Master Elliot, of Port Erin, being the local representative of the Shipwrecked Mariners Society, provided clothing for the men landed at the southern ports, and the Inspector of Police (Inspector Duke) arranged for billets for the survivors. The total number reported landed in the Island out of the crew of 305 was 217, but some additional survivors were subsequently found.’
On the 10th October, 1917, Captain Brown 2 wrote:
"Captain Brown would like to take this opportunity of thanking the Authorities for the extreme kindness and hospitality which has been shown to himself, his officers and men during their stay in the Island."
