Notes: * These 3 ships became separated from the convoy. The ship in station 82 is listed as Barnhill, should probably be Barn Hill (or possibly Barrhill? Fore info, there's mention in the Commodore's notes for Convoy HG 22, that on March 20, while HG 22 was in position 50 12N 01 22W, a message was received from a ship named Barnhill saying that she was being bombed in 50 34N 00 2W). * The French Nevada was taken over by MOWT in June-1940 and renamed Nevada II. Commodore vessel was Kaipara, Vice Commodore was in Delilian. Ocean Escort: HMS Laconia. To the next HX convoy in my list HX 26 |
