I was talking to Brad about a relative of mine who sailed to the 1924 Olympic games in Paris and remembering the movie Chariots of Fire, I remembered that the American team came on a ship and some of the footage was reproduced in the movie, sure they changed the people but i remember seeing a ship. Now if we could find out which ship it was, we may have a source in News-reels. chances were that they came on a notable ship. What I am getting at is that there was a lot of news coverage of major events of the day where a ship would be the scene of the event. She went to the 1928 games also, didn't win, but she got to go. She was a diver.
Also Perhaps there may be some information at Mudros, since the ships all docked there. The History Channel had some documentaries on the Royal Air Corps, particularly for World War I. since those planes were mostly reconaisance in the early part of the war, their pictures may be a source. If I see any ships, I will write it down.
