<HTML>This matter was actually brought to my attention quite a while back by Josef Pijacek, in other words it wasn\'t I who \"uncovered\" it, though it didn\'t really mean much to me at the time as I hadn\'t started researching the ships starting with T yet, nor did I know enough about the convoys then to notice a problem, so it didn\'t seem all that strange to me until now. But this uncovers another inconsistency (here on U-boat net) which I did notice a long time ago, when checking on some other Norwegian ships in Convoy ON 166: Thorsholm is listed on the page describing the battle of this convoy - damaged by U-118 on Febr. 22 - my Norwegian sources do not mention Thorsholm in this convoy at all, but since those sources are fairly old I assumed the U-boat net entry would be the correct one - but maybe not.</HTML>
