The need for their protection meant withdrawing escorts from the routine convoys.  Amongst those left without adequate defence were RB 1 and SC 107, both eastbound from America, and SL 125, northbound from Freetown.  All three were at sea at the same time as the TORCH convoys.","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175361265904,"sku":"9781473887107","price":23.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473887107_p0.jpg?v=1769893286","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473887107","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
