CONVOY HX 314
Departed New York on Oct. 15-1944 and arrived Liverpool on the 29th.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 63 ships in this convoy.
|
Transcribed from several documents received from Roger Griffiths - His source: Public Records Office, Kew. Crossed out ships did not sail, underlined ships returned to port. A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't have the station numbers of these ships. |
