Just found this brilliant site for those researching Merchant Navy Ships and the convoys they were attached to during WW2. |

Thanks. I have just had a look and it is easier to use than other sites, e.g. www.gordonmumford.com. I have been recently following up details of a couple of convoys at the National Archives. Once you have found the number e.g. PQ 5 it is quite simple to search their catalogue in the ADM series and find the original documents but you have to visit Kew to read them. |

Thanks Dave for that info, will keep it in mind if I do get a chance to get to Kew. I was able to download the cards for City of Lille from the Archives website although they did not detail the convoys so delighted I now have those details courtesy of the convoyweb site. |
