CONVOY GN 32
Departed Guantanamo at 16:00Z on Jan. 1-1943 - arrived New York at 15:00Z Jan. 8.

Received from Olaf Evertse, Holland (whose father served on Curacao) - His Source: National Archives and Records Administration, Washington. Convoy GN 32 joined Convoy TAG 32 (Trinidad-Aruba-Guantanamo). 25 of the ships below were from TAG 32, 11 (17?) are said to have joined from Z-17 (Panama Canal - Guantanamo?) A 1 form is not available and, therefore, I do not know the cruising order. For info, several of the ships in this convoy went on to join Convoy HX 223 to the U.K.
