Notes: Commodore was in Harbury, Vice Commodore in Perseus. There's a ship named Perseus listed as cancelled from Convoy HG 32, which I've been told must have been the Greek ship by this name, as the British one was in the Pacific at that time. However, the Perseus in Convoy HGF 33 was 10 286 gt, which was the British Perseus. Commodore's notes are not available. Escort: Related external link: To the next HG convoy in my list HG 33 |
