"Saskatch- ewan" Takes Part In Largp Naval Battle For the first time in the history of the. R. C. N., an all Canadian Naval force of four Canadian des- troyers fought a running battle against an enemy fleet of similar numbers two miles off the French coast near Brest, recently and in 50 minutes destroyed three of the Nazi ships and sent the fourth scurrying back to port. • The story of the battle and naval victory was revealed by the Saskat- chewan's commanding officer, Lieut. Cmdr. Allen H. Easton, D. S. C. of Halifax and Montreal, and several members of the crew on their return to Canada. Because of their light armament thean C adians had to close in to 800 yards to attack the flotilla of four heavily armed trawlers, which were believed escorting a fleet of U-boats out to sea, making the destroyers dangerously vulnerable to the Ger- man ships and share batteries only two miles away. When the smoke and din of battle had cleared away all four enemy ships were gone—three of them were sunk' or left ablaze from stem to stern and the fourth believed chased back to Brest. On the ,Canadian ships four were killed and. several others wounded. Able Seaman Lloyd Sehoenhals of Goderich, formerly of Clinton, was wounded while captaining No. 5 Oerlikon gun, on the H. M. C. S. "Saskatchewan". Lloyd is confined to a Canadian Hospital in England, suf- fering from three bullett wounds in the legs and three hip wounds. Also one foot was crushed. He is making a good recovery and expects to be home soon.
