By the end of World War II, the Royal Canadian Navy had over 100,000 personnel and more than 400 vessels, making it one of the largest navies in the world. Marginal food, the stench of close quarters and unspeakable boredom punctuated by sheer terror often characterized life aboard-ship. In Stories From The Trenches, the veterans of Canada's navy share what it was like to be a young man, suddenly thrown into a world conflict far from home. From the treacherous waters of the North Atlantic to virtually every ocean on the globe, Canada's sailors served the Allied cause hunting deadly U-boats, providing escort duty to vulnerable convoys or bringing much needed men and supplies to war-weary troops.
