Convoy RB1
I am trying to trace a list of crew members of a boat called Southland and medals awarded by King George V1 It was part of Convoy RB1 which sailed from Newfoundland Sept 21 1942. The convoy was attacked by u boats and the crew of the Southland were credited with a "probable" sinking of one of the u boats. I have most of the information about the actual convoy crossing. But without crew names I am finding it quite difficult to get information on the awards.
