Up here today is Remembrance day, same thing for the same reasons. Yesterday I was watching some Discovery TV programs on WWII ..... interesting stuff. They mentioned Italy's surrender in September of 1943 which reminded me of this photo below which I have. My dad served on a Canadian corvette during the war, HMCS Hepatica, I think it had a crew of around 80 men. Corvettes were essentially escort vessels for Atlantic convoys. They had guns of course and depth charges for sub chasing if called to action stations. Anyways, that's my dad's writing on the bottom of the photo, the expression "Splicing the Mainbrance" is a British naval expression when the ship's crew got an extra shot of rum for a job well done. The British and Canadian navies allowed a small measure of rum every day, I don't think the USN allowed it. My dad is in the middle on top of the gun, he looks pretty happy, he was always smiling. He was 27 in that photo, all those guys are likely long gone. Interesting crest on the gun. The back of the photo is stamped "Official RCN photograph, not to be copied without permission" ..... I guess by now I can do that without getting into trouble. I hope this photo works ..... Crazy Horse.
