Notes: Commodore's notes are not available. * Julesburg left with the rest of the above ships, but had to put into Halifax for repairs to boiler. Arrived Halifax on Dec. 7. Listed in the next convoy, CU 9. * Georgia is shown to be leaving New York again on Dec. 5-1943 for the U.K. In fact, she's listed as sailing in Convoy UT 5 which arrived Clyde on Dec. 15-1943. She later returned with Convoy TU 5 at the end of that month, as did some of the other ships from CU 8 (both are external links). Escorts (Received from Don Kindell - His source: The late Arnold Hague's database): Related external links: To the next CU convoy in my list CU 9 |
