CONVOY MKS 20
 Left Gibraltar on July 31-1943 and arrived Liverpool on Aug. 10.

Transcribed from a document (Advance Sailing Telegram) received from Tony Cooper - His source: Public Records Office, Kew.

There's a note in the document stating that the convoy sailed unannounced on July 31 - previous estimated time of departure was Aug. 8.

See also MKF 20 (faster convoy), as well as KMS convoys from the same time period (for instance, KMS 17).
