CONVOY HX 321
Departed New York City on Nov. 19-1944 arrived Liverpool on Dec. 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. A 1 form is not available to me and, therefore, I don't know the station numbers of these ships. For info, some of the ships in this convoy had previously arrived the U.S. with Convoy ON 261 earlier that month. | ||||
