I checked a few websites, including Queenmary.com These sites did not specify routes taken, however the Ship traveled primary between Scotland to/from US Scotland to/from Sidney, Australia Sidney to/from Scotland Suez, Egypt was a destination on a few occasions. It is most likely that the Queen Mary did not ever transit through the Mediterranean Sea during the war. Any troops taken to Egypt 1940-1943 would have gone from Great Britain to Egypt around the southern tip of Africa. Also troops from Australia could go from Australia to Suez directly through the Indian ocean until the Japanese entered the war in December 1941. It was not safe for the Queen Mary to travel between Australia & Suez until the end of 1942. By 1943 the Allies were already in place and winning in North Africa (Egypt). It actually took hundreds of troop transports to move the British, Australian, American, Canadian, New Zealand, Free French & other allied troops across the various oceans to the many combat theaters. The Queen Mary was modified to carry the largest number of troops at a single time.
