    Default Battle of the Atlantic

    Canada marks Battle of the Atlantic anniversary

    Proud to have known members of my naval reserve unit that took part in it and the Murmansk convoy runs. Sadly all gone now

    Lest we forget.

    Bob,

    They are not forgotten. They live on through you! A great tribute!
    Peace has a flavor, that those who never fought for it, shall never know.
    I stand with you in remembering those who gave so much for so little.
    Peace be with you!

    Great post Bob - when you stand at the harbor in Halifax, where a vast amount of the Atlantic Shipping crossed to Europe and Russia as convoy escorts, to think that Canada, yes Canada, had the fourth largest Navy in the world during that time, and the brave souls of the Navy and the unsung Merchant Marines who made that crossing, it is truly something to reflect on.

    I've read many stories of the ships leaving Halifax on the frequently ill fated Murmansk run....great post Bob.
