HMS La Malouine (K46) - With Convoy PQ-17

With Convoy PQ-17

In June 1942 La Malouine was assigned to the close escort group for Convoy PQ-17. Other corvettes of her class involved were HMS Dianella, HMS Lotus and HMS Poppy. The convoy left Hvalfjord on 27 June 1942 bound for Murmansk. By the time the remains of the convoy had arrived in Soviet Russia, in mid July, 25 out of 36 merchant ships had been sunk. La Malouine, along with her sisterships, survived the voyage.
