CONVOY HX 311
Departed New York City on Sept. 28-1944 and arrived Liverpool on Oct. 14.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 60 ships in this convoy.

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

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.
