    [QUOTE=Doc Vernon;309830]I only get these records Jeanette ?

    Hi,

    This is where I read that the Criteron and Banfora left Freetown at the same time.

    Criton sailed in convoy SL78 on 19th June 1941 carrying a cargo of iron ore.

    MN PoW-2 – Gordon Mumford


    CRITON sailed in convoy SL78, but could not maintain convoy speed due to the sabotage.
