Albany is proud of the role it played during the
two world wars. The convoy of vessels which carried the first Australian and New Zealand contingents to WW1, assembled in King George
Sound and were coaled at the
Deep Water Jetty before departing for action overseas.
There were always committees making up parcels to distribute amongst troops who came ashore or who were being repatriated. The Rocks, one of Albany's prominent homes was converted to a convalescent home for the wounded. It operated from October 1915 until October 1917.
