Transcribed from several documents received from Roger Griffiths - His source: Public Records Office, Kew.

The ships are listed in the order in which they appear on the various documents.

Info re. Arctic convoys was found in "Convoys to Russia", Bob Ruegg & Arnold Hague.

Crossed out ships did not sail, underlined ships returned to port.
A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers for these ships.

For info, a few of the ships in this convoy later returned to the U.S. with Convoy ON 261.

Notes:
Additionally, the Rescue Vessel Fastnet (requisitioned June 14-1943) sailed with this convoy. She was on her 7th voyage as such, having started this voyage from Clyde with the westbound Convoy ON 251 on Sept. 1-1944, to Halifax Sept. 17 - returning with HX 310 from Halifax Sept. 23, to Clyde Oct. 5. ("Convoy Rescue Ships", Arnold Hague). On the westbound voyage she had taken on board the survivors from the Norwegian Fjordheim, this being the only rescue (related to enemy action) she was involved with - follow link for details. Her next eastbound voyage was with Convoy HX 318.

Commodore, Rear Admiral A. R. Smithwick was in Norwegian Reinholt, Vice Commodore was G. E. Sutcliff, R.N. in Norwegian Høyanger. Commodore's notes are not available.
