CONVOY HX 326
Departed New York City on Dec.14-1944 and arrived Liverpool on the 27th.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 48 ships in this convoy.

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

A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers of these ships.

See also westbound Convoy ON 277.

Crossed out ships did not sail, underlined ships returned to port.

Info re. Russian convoys has been added with the help of "Convoys to Russia", Arnold Hague and Bob Ruegg.
