"On 10th September, 1920, the party of 20 cadets under command of Sub-Lieutenant A. A. Porter RN, left for England in RMS Carisbrook Castle. On arrival they had a month’s leave, as HMS Thames was not yet ready for the voyage to the Cape. The voyage to Cape Town was made under command of Captain F. B. Renouf."
