We participated and we have had our commemorative services here this past week.

My Dad was crew on HMCS Ottawa, sunk on Sept 14, 42 on escort duty.

U91 did the deed as they were picking up survivors.

Shouldn't this be in the General Naval Discussion forum

Anyway, good to hear that the BotA is getting some much-deserved attention

RIP to all those who died in it.
