A Purple star for Jervis Bay

Jervis Bay and Convoy HX84 just got a purple star!

The story of possibly the best known Atlantic convoy in World War Two, and the heroism of the merchant navy sailors when they were ambushed by the Admiral Scheer was a tricky one to write. A lot of the sources contradict each other, e.g. Wikipedia says there were 37 ships in the convoy while the manifest says thirty eight and their escort. A trip to the Imperial War museum was necessary to resolve some of the differences.


Also, here's my halfbuilt site about Tim and the Hidden People. Please ignore the background photo - after a complete systems crash it's only there until I can recover the real one.
