CONVOY HG 11
Departed Gibraltar on Dec. 16-1939 and arrived Liverpool on the 24th.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 52 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. |
