During the past year, I have been working with a committee in London, Ontario, Canada to enhance/build a memorial for those Canadians who gave their lives during the Battle of the Atlantic, from 1939-1945. The memorial is now finished and was unveiled to the public at the 80th anniversary of the battle’s end (see the news footage of the event further down). I had the distinct honour of writing the text for one of the panels. I thought I’d share it with you today.

Today, on 11 November 2024, I’m thinking about those who gave their lives to protect our freedom and way of life.

Lest we forget.

Work is moving forward on the Battle of the Atlantic memorial here in London.  See pictures of the ongoing construction in the post.
