CONVOY HG 7
Departed Port Said on Nov. 3-1939 and arrived Liverpool on the 22nd.
(The Advance Sailing Telegram gives sailing date as Nov. 14-1939, possibly from Gibraltar)
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 32 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. |
