Convoy HX 318 - warsailors.com (original) (raw)

CONVOY HX 318 Departed New York City on Nov. 4-1944 and arrived Liverpool on Nov. 19.
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.
A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers of these ships.

Info re. Russian convoys has been added with the help of "Convoys to Russia", Arnold Hague and Bob Ruegg.

For info, some of the ships in this convoy can also be found in the westbound Convoy ON 270 on Dec. 3.
