Remember that this was a period of great events. The injured would have been sent home in any way they could find. Nor is it the slightest bit unusual to find other services mixed in with the RN or any other services.
In those days, There was no standing on ceremony. If there was a way to do something ..Then it was used, no matter what.

The men from Europe were sent back on anything, Landing craft, hospital ship. Anything! If you were seriously wounded, with a need for a proper operating theatre? you flew home. I came back in a Dakota Hospital plane.
My best regards.
