Battle of the Atlantic Memorial: Construction Update #3
Artist Rendering
Here are some video clips showcasing construction work at the Battle of the Atlantic Memorial in London, Ontario.
The committee is working to raise funds to enhance/build a memorial to commemorate the lives lost during the Battle of the Atlantic during WW2. It will honour those who served in the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Canadian Merchant Navy from 1939 to 1945. The memorial panels will list the names of the ships and those souls lost during the battle; they gave their lives in the struggle to defeat tyranny.
