ATLANTIC BATTLE
PROTECTION OF IMPORTANT CONVOY SOME LOSSES SUFFERED. TWO U-BOATS DESTROYED • & OTHERS DAMAGED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) RUGBY, January 10. Successful co-operation between British, Polish and Norwegian escort ships, and British, United States and Canadian aircraft, recently secured the arrival of an important Atlantic convoy. Describing a series of 35 actions, extending intermittently over four days and nights, the Admiralty and Air Ministry jointly state that the convoy did not escape without loss, but that the Allied forces almost certainly sank two U-boats, damaged a number of others and finally drove off the enemy.
