HMS Juno (1895)

[1] In late March 1900 she was sent to Algiers to bring back to the United Kingdom the remains of Field Marshal Sir Donald Stewart, 1st Baronet, who had died there earlier that month.

[2] In 1901, she was one of two escort ships for HMS Ophir, which carried the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George V and Queen Mary) during their tour of the British Empire.

[10] In 1915 she was sent to the Persian Gulf and took part in an engagement at Bushire in July – August 1915 against Tangistani raids under Rais Ali Delvari.

Having received warning of submarine activity in the area, the cruiser took evasive action and eventually returned to port.

[11] In November 1916 Juno carried Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud to Bushire to visit Sir Percy Cox, the British Political Resident in the Persian Gulf.
