25 June 1944 Later situation report on island convoy and harbour attacks
Editorial note: Retrospective report kept on its issue date. Its 19 June convoy heading differs from the daily report’s explicit 18 June date, and the 20 June harbour item may repeat the naval diary’s 19 June attacks. These are parallel reports, not four new actions.
19 June section: Air activity: bombing of Granville harbour and the Granville–Jersey cargo convoy.
20 June section: Air activity: bombing of Guernsey and Jersey harbours. Mining of the harbour entrance.
23 June section: Around 04.00, naval engagement southwest of Jersey between enemy gunboats and a convoy.
23 June air activity: Mines dropped off Guernsey harbour.
