Convoy RA-54B, has been listed here, but HMS Mahratta is yet to be confirmed with the convoy, I have this convoy listed on the Summary Service for 1943-44, but HMS Mahratta is missing from the convoy list, that was printed in a book called "Convoys to Russia 1941-45" by Bob Ruegg and Arnold Hague. So as the Service Summary should be correct, I think it is only best to list this convoy.
