<HTML>Hi Jan,
I will check through all my paper files covering dates of the sinking to see if Thorsholm is recorded anywhere either outbound or inbound. With regard to the other two ships mentioned in the recent comments HMS Wivern was damaged by the explosion of the depth charges of HMCS Weyburn so they must have been sailing pretty close together. It would appear that the error in Prof.Rowher\'s book is a printers error but we cannot be sure that Thorsholm was actually in MKS 8 until we can locate a convoy make up list, it is possible that she was in a KMS convoy I shall have to check out the date relationship with MKS 8 and other convoys.
