CONVOY HG 10
Departed Gibraltar on Dec. 8-1939 and arrived Liverpool on the 16th.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 62 ships in this convoy.
|
Received from Tony Cooper - His source: Public Records Office, Kew. Commodore's notes and A 1 form are not available to me and, therefore, station numbers and escorts are not known. |
