Introduction to Our Veterans

The Canadian Naval Memorial Trust includes Trustees from all services (serving and retired) and walks of life from across Canada
and other countries. Among the Trustees are veterans of the Second World War, Korea and other conflicts.

A number served in corvettes such as HMCS SACKVILLE during WW II, including LCdr Bill Murray (HMCS SACKVILLE) and LCdr Murray Knowles (HMCS LOUISBURG II). Other Trustees served in the Merchant Navy, Air Force and Amy.

The Trust supports veterans activities aboard HMCS SACKVILLE and ashore. These include Battle of Atlantic, Remembrance Day and other ceremonies and services that recognize the sacrifice and contributions of all veterans over the years.

An In Memoriam book to remember and honour Trustees, other veterans and family members is maintained in SACKVILLE and a new updated Book of Remembrance will be attached to this website in the near future.
