CONVOY HX 295
Departed New York on June 10-1944 and arrived Liverpool on the 24th.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 80 ships in this convoy.
|
Transcribed from several documents received from Tony Cooper - His source: Public Records Office, Kew.
A 1 form is not available and, therefore, the station numbers are not known. For info, a few of these ships later joined Convoy JW 59 - see also my Arctic Convoys page for returns. |

Notes: The Rescue Vessel Rathlin was on her 19th voyage as such, having started this voyage from Clyde on May 19-1944 with the westbound Convoy ON 237, to Halifax June 1, then returned to Clyde with Convoy HX 295, June 12-June 24. Her next voyage was with Convoy JW 59 from Loch Ewe to Kola, returning with Convoy RA 60 - see my Arctic Convoys page ("Convoy Rescue Ships 1940-1945", Arnold Hague). Commodore's notes are not available - escorts not known. All the Norwegian ships in this convoy are discussed on this website - use alphabet index below to find them. Related external links: Empire Ships - Also listed in alphabetical order. The site also has a section listing the "Sam"-ships (some of which sailed in Convoy HX 295) and other Liberty ships. Eastbound N. Atlantic Convoys / 1944 To the next HX convoy in my list HX 296 |
