Notes:
British Corporal had previously been in Convoy PQ 14 from Reykjavik (Apr. 8) to Murmansk. This convoy encountered dense fog and heavy pack ice, forcing many of the ships to return to Reykjavik, some joining QP 10 to do so, and only a few managed to complete the voyage to Murmansk; British Corporal had returned to Akureyri Apr. 18.

No further details are available on this convoy.
