According to my dad’s memoirs, his service in the Royal Canadian Navy began on June 20, 1941 and ended September 5, 1945.
He left behind many tales (some published in two thick volumes dedicated to stories by members of the Merchant Marine) along with his medals, parts of his navy uniform and a tired wallet with a life time member’s card to the Norwich Legion.
One of the favourite things I inherited is dad’s naval hat, size 7.

Dapper Dan I’m not when I place it upon my head, but it seems a perfect fit.
