A gentle reminder...

...to two of our contributors here at The Torch that they still have posting privileges, even if they seem to have forgotten themselves:

Andrew at BBG pointing our attention towards veterans of Canada's Merchant Navy:

On this day we should take a moment to remember (or learn about) the more than 12,000 men and women who served in Canada's Merchant Navy during the Second World War. As pointed out in the quotation above, the Merchant Navy suffered the greatest casualty rate (one in eight) of any branch of the Canadian Armed Forces during the war, and yet they are often shoved off to one side when we think of our veterans.
