CONVOY HG 4
Departed Gibraltar on Oct. 21-1939 and arrived U.K. on the 29th.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" agrees with 41 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. |
