CONVOY HX 235
Departed New York City on Apr. 18-1943 and arrived Liverpool on May 5.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 36 ships in this convoy.

Transcribed from several 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.
Crossed out ships did not sail, underlined ships returned to port..

A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers of these ships.
