John,
A bit more to add to hospital ship movements at Freetown.
15 Feb HS Vasna arrives Freetown
18 Feb HS Oxfordshire departs Freetown, destination is not stated but it is most probable it was for Capetown/Simonstown for refit.
25 Apr Dept of Defence South Africa request HS Oxfordshire to transfer 200 invalids from Durban. These patients are to be repatriated back to the UK on HS Vasna.
26 May HS Oxfordshire arrives back at Freetown from South Africa, patient transfer to Vasna who subsequently returns to the UK.
Regards,
Mark
