CONVOY HX 21
Departed Halifax on Febr. 18-1940 and arrived Liverpool on March 4.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" agrees with 16 ships in this convoy.

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

The ships are listed in the order in which they appear on the various documents.
The A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers of these ships.
