WWI Hospital ship Dunluce Castle - Malta military hospitals - Salonika military hospital

Re - Family Research - My grandfather John William Hepworth
(reg.no.5447 York and Lancaster Regiment) was admitted as a casualty
on 6 October 1916 - I would much appreciate any information about this
hospital ship and also where I could download (buy?) historical
photos.
