CONVOY HX 334
Departed New York City on Jan. 23-1945 and arrived Liverpool on Febr. 6.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 74 ships in this convoy.

Transcribed from several documents received from Tony Cooper - His source: Public Records Office, Kew.

Crossed out ships did not sail, underlined returned.
A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers for these ships.
