Convoy HX 126 January 14, 2010 It's been a while since we've been in touch, I hope you're well and happy. Today, I happened upon a page on your site where you say: I used the reports of HX126 from a Norwegian site about Convoys and the Battle of the Atlantic http://www.warsailors.com/. It is run by a lady Siri Lawson living in the US, her Dad was a Norwegian sailor in WW2, in general Siri runs a wonderful site that is a great reference facility, we correspond from time to time, and she has links to AHOY on this site. But, although she carries just about all the Atlantic Convoy steaming formations and names the ships, there is no such information for HX126, nor can I track one down anywhere. The page in question is here I know the messages on that page are probably fairly old now, and I don't know if Cyril is still alive, but I just wanted to mention that I do indeed have the information for Convoy HX 126, you'll find it here http://www.warsailors.com/convoys/hx126.html There's also some details on ONS 5, mentioned on your page http://www.warsailors.com/convoys/ons5.html --------------------------------------------
How nice to hear from you, yes I am fine thank you, although I had surgery on my left shoulder just proir to Christmas. The rehabilitation is going well. You are of course quite right about the cruising order for
convoy HX 126, its now 5 years ago since I said I could I will ask my web master Terry Kearns to remove that statement on AHOY. I will be 88 in February next, the time just skates along. Only a few days ago I was telling my wife Denise what a
great site you run, and that I had not heard from you for Tke care of yourself, my very best wishes and regards, |
