Tableau d’honneur de la bataille de l’Atlantique

MEMORIAL TO BATTLE OF ATLANTIC
ROYAL CANADIAN SHIPS LOST BY ENEMY ACTION
1939-1945

"We that survive perchance may end our days
In some employment meriting no praise

They have outlived this fear, and their brave ends
Will ever be an honour to their friends."

Remembering the above may help you understand the
reason why the Navy have, during the post-war years, held
Battle of Atlantic Sunday.

Reading the list below may bring your minds back to these
Shipmates that at one time laughed and shared your sea-
going days during those fateful years. Take pride in the
fact that you deserved a place amongst them.
