CONVOY HX 329
Departed New York City on Dec. 29-1944 and arrived Liverpool on Jan 12-1945.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 36 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.

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

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