Battle of Atlantic

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

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.
