Wilfred George Hampshire was among the 20 Sea Cadets sent to England to retrieve the HMS Thames for the South African Navy.

The Cadets left South Africa on 10 Sept. 1920 under the command of Sub. Lt. A.A. Porter, sailing on board the RMS Carisbrook Castle. They arrived in Southampton, England on 1 Oct. 1920.

However, when they arrived they found that the HMS Thames was not yet ready and so the Cadets were given a month's leave; Wilfred chose to spend his time in Oldham, Lancashire, with his cousins, aunts and uncles.

When the ship was finally ready, they departed England, arriving in Cape Town in March, 1921.

The HMS Thames was then renamed SATS General Botha.
