I do appreciate your effort on this, Temujin. Thank you. So I guess the date of 6 December, 1939 in my original post would coincide with their departure from Montreal, not Halifax. Corrrect Mike.....they left Montreal on the 6th Dec, and arrived in Halifax on the 7th Dec. They “may” have then embar...

Hey Mike.......found the records......I was able to confirm that the Royal Montreal Regiment (MG) was indeed on Trains 4 and 5 from Montreal.

Mike, I haven’t found the correct Convoy records yet to see if I can find the Nominal Roll. Still looking. I’ve got back to July 1940, but can’t find the 1939 records yet.

Depart Halifax on 10 December 1939.
Arrive Clyde on 17 December 1939.
I’ll see if I can find the Convoy records now
