Escorts convoy KMS 5 from Gibraltar to Oran

The Champlin heads to Gibraltar to escort a convoy back to Oran.  The convoy consisted of slow ships from the United Kingdom headed to North Africa in support of the Allies.  The crew is showing a bit of fatigue, as evident on the ship’s war diary, where the ship’s Lieutenant mistakenly writes the date as May 2nd instead of June 2nd (see image).
