Murmansk Run Veterans
Posted by John Haynes on June 6, 2010, 4:51 pm
Just wondering how many of you “Old Salts”, Armed Guard or Merchant Marines, out there are veterans of the Murmansk Run. I’d like to hear from you and to know when, which convoy, what ship, and the position you manned especially during General Quarters and if you made the Run more than once. I was on the SS Eldena in convoy PQ-13 from Feb 1942 through May 1942, an Armed Guard gunner on a .50 cal machine gun and only made the Run once. John Haynes
