Hi guys

Thanks for all your comments.

As a serious Lw researcher I, also, have copies of Loss Lists, hence my plea for help!

Referring to the diary entry, I believe friend Hudson may have made his entries in a pre-printed diary, and therefore entered on the incorrect dates (as suggested). This theory is supported by his first entry (as published):

"November 16th. Leaving today. Stormy outside ...."

PQ-3 actually departed November 9th!

Therefore, seemingly seven days in error, his November 22nd would be November 15th, which would more sense regarding the position of his ship.

I will endeavour to make contact with the author for more information.

Ed- I always acknowledge TOCH members contributions in my books. Have a happy New Year.

Cheers
Brian
