Notes: Commodore was in Magician, Vice Commodore in Tregarthen. There's an awful lot of pencil marks and crossing out on this A 1 form, and I'm not entirely sure how to read it. The ships that I've denoted * have a blue pencil line through them. (Loch Maddy straggled and was damaged by U-57 on Febr. 21 and sunk by U-23 in the early morning hours of Febr. 22, off Copinsay, Orkneys). Also, columns 6, 7 and 8 have a diagonal pencil line through them. *Additionally, there are several arrows, for instance, Capulet has been entered in station 72 and Barrwhin in station 75, but there are arrows from one to the other, looking like they were switched around. There's also an arrow from station 75 up to Athelduchess in station 73 (not sure what that means), and Bourgogne is listed in station 74, but with an arrow down to station 85. Shirvan, Anglo Canadian, Bullmouth, Athel(?), British Corporal, Appalache, and Peebles are also mentioned in one of HX 19 documents, but I'm not sure what this means - were they scheduled for this convoy? As will be seen by clicking on the link to HX 20 below, Shirvan, Anglo Canadian, British Corporal and Bullmouth appear in the next convoy. Athelempress is also listed in that convoy - perhaps this is the 'Athel' vessel mentioned? See also a thread on my Ship Forum with regard to the loss of Pacific Reliance. (Rohwer states she was torpedoed and sunk by U-29 on March 4, 50 23N 05 49W - no convoy is mentioned in this source - while others claim she was in, or dispersed from HX 19; there's every indication this is incorrect).
