Jura had originally been scheduled for Convoy HG 20.


Notes:
Commodore was in Matiana, Vice Commodore in Patia.

British Pride's original destination is given as Southampton, diverted to Sheerness (reason not provided).

Winga lost touch on the night of March 2/3, and it looks like San Conrado took her place in station 93 (her station number 43 is crossed out on the A 1 form and the number 93 added by hand).

Tunisia left with engine defects at 11:45 on March 7, proceeded to Falmouth for repairs.

Commodore's notes are not available.

Escorts:
Chacal (French destroyer) and Capitaine Armande(?)
