The Whole history of Submarine and ASW I am into
but the RCN Role in WWII has been part of my obsession
with the Battle of the atlantic as well as my seeming
all consuming obsession with River Class Frigates.

I knew Jackson well. Not only was he paymaster of the PD, but he was Manager of the Badminton & Racquet Club in Toronto for many years after the war where I was a member. He was one of the officers that told me about the PD's two years in Europe. Father never talked about the war.
