Battle of Atlantic ,t()•be marked at St Patirs..._ f..!T.;*;5?,ATr.trfiril.!iriri?•'7.:;ril0trfifrSP:L: St. Paul's Anglican Church in Wingham will be the scene of Much pomp and Circumstance this Sun- day as it marks Battle of 'the Atlantic Sunday Rev. Doug Madge of- St. Paul's says Battle of the Atlantic Sunday traditionally has been marked around the first of May. It com- memorates the longest -running bat- tle of the Second World War —the battle for supremacy of the North Atlantic Ocean. The battle lasted virtually throughout the entire six years of the war and the Royal Canadian Navy played a very significant part in escorting convoys loaded with men and supplies to Great Britain.. Without this assistance, says Mr. Madge, Britain could not have been used as the staging area for the Allied invasion of Europe, which marked the beginning of the end for the Second World War. At the start of the war, Canada had 3,000 members in its navy By war's end, those numbers had swelled to over 100,000 men and women, the third largest navy in the free world. Battle of the Atlantic Sunday gives a vote of thanks to those men and women who risked, and g their lives at sea in the .fight tor freedom. Throughout the memorial ser vice, a bell will toll for each ship lost in the North Atlantic during the war and two minutes •silence will be observed. This impressio e and moving occasion gets underway Sunday morning at 10:30 with a Parade to 1.; St. Paul's of Kitcherier-WaterloO and Huron- Naval Association members, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 180 and Legion. Auxiliary members, as well as members of 543 Air Cadets Squadron. The service begins at 11 a.m., fol- lowed by a wreathzlaying ceremony - at the cenotaph. The Clinton Legion Pipe Band also will be on hand to provide stir ring music for the marchers. The parade will wind its way to the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Wingham, for a luncheon after the cenotaph service. -000- Youth lasts much longer than young people think.
