Does anyone have copies of contemporary reports of the incident that they are willing to share - or do they know where I can obtain such?

Have you looked at my website:

The Convoy Web site is very good:

Just type in a convoy code and you'll get a complete listing of ships. Or just Google "HMT Rohna", for that matter. Google seems to yield results for pretty well any ship sunk in a convoy.
There are all kinds of original documents in the National Archives: their website has a searchable catalogue.
