My Dad was in Convoy JW56A from Loch Ewe to Murmanak January 1944. The convoy left with 20 ships but before they reached Iceland 5 ships had to return to Loch Ewe because of damage from bad weather and rough seas. That must have been really bad to have 25% of the convoy turn around from the mission. The other ships sheltered off Iceland and theen proceeded to Murmansk. 3 more ships torpedoed on the way to Murmansk.
