Hi Bryan
Thanks for that. The RCN has always held an interest for me. I've liked to hear the navy stories I'd been told by East coast relatives and the written ones that abound. Mostly small ship/Battle of the Atlantic stuff. Throwing beer bottles at U-Boats! I just found out about Ferdinand Demara and Cayuga!
Anyways, Ontario and Quebec certainly hold a place in our naval history as the largest ships we've had (barring carriers). Pete, wasn't the maple leaf on the funnel an Atlantic escorts "thing" and not navy-wide? (*Edit- I see a single green leaf on the funnel was to be RCN-wide as of September 1944!)
I may increase to instances that I pick up random RCN cap tallys!!
A great source for photos:
