In July 1913 she was serving with the Third Destroyer Flotilla.[6]

Commander Harry R. Godfrey commanded her when she covered the landings at Anzac Cove at Gallipoli.[7]

At Suvla Bay on 6-7 August, 1915, Beagle worked with five of her sisters and Arno to tow troop barges in. A similar effort with a smaller force placed its troops in the wrong position.[8]
