Devanha Lifeboat

The HMAT Devanha  lifeboat, which carried soldiers of the 12th Battalion and 3rd Field Ambulance into Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915, will arrive at the Shrine of Remembrance this Sunday, 4 May at 9.30am.

The Devanha, on loan from the Australian War Memorial, will arrive for installation in the First World War (1914-18) Gallery. The Galleries will open to the public in November 2014.
