Conte Biancamano The full complement of Italian marines, who took over the duties of the Savoy Grenadiers after their departure for Italy on the Lloyd Triestino liner, Conte Verde, on November 28, went aboard the Italian liner Conte Biancamano last night prior to sailing for Italy this morning.

The*departing marines, who comprised the Compania San Marine, commenced their duties in the Italian defence sector at the beginning of the month and were quartered at the Kiaochow Road billets, formerly occupied by the Grenadiers.
