Title
‘Nothing would be too much trouble’: Hometown Support for HMCS Dunver, 1943-1945
Abstract
The Canadian navy named most of the more than three hundred seagoing ships that it built during the Second World War after urban communities. This proved to be a popular initiative that created strong bonds between communities and ships. The author studies the relationship between the Montreal suburb of Verdun and its namesake ship, Dunver, and how morale among crew members was raised because of the generous provision of crew comforts provided by Verdun community members.
