    Hi all

    The light cruiser USS Boise escorted a convoy into Manila, Philippines, arriving 4th December 1941.

    Can anyone confirm the makeup of the convoy, I believe it may be Army transport President Grant and steamers American Leader, Cape Fairweather, John Lyles, and Dona Nati. However, I also think Cape Fairweather stopped in Shanghai, leaving there on the 3rd December, probably for Manila.

    Secondly, can anyone tell me what passengers and cargo was carried please.
