A bit more on Serbia

[Frank Schofield]

The British Adriatic Mission was the second mission sent to Italy, the first set up in Rome in 1915 after Italy declared War.
The second was set up to supply arms to the Serbs.
On 1st December 1915 Brig. General F.P.S. Taylor established his HQ in Rome.  FPO W.1. was used at this location until the Mission was closed in April 1916.
Supplies were despatched from Brindisi, BAPO W, was used from January 1916 until April 1916.
The British Adriatic Mission was only operated for 5 months
