During the First World War ships of the [[Bombay Marine|Royal Indian Marine]] carried troops and other war stores from India to Egypt, Mesopotamia and East Africa. When mines were detected off the coasts of Bombay and Aden during the First World War, the Royal Indian Marine went into action with a fleet of minesweepers, patrol vessels and troop carriers. The Royal Indian Marine also played a leading role in landing troops in Mesopotamia and their small river craft did very useful work on the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.<ref>Abstract of a paper "Royal Indian Marine in the First World War" by Kalesh Mohanan presented at the [httpshttp://www.dropboxindiaww1.comin/s/43nlrwseapionr1/India%20and%20the%20Great%20War%20Conference%20ScheduleConference.pdf ''India And The Great War'' Conference] at The United Service Institution of India, New Delhi: 5-7 March 2014</ref>
