MATCHMAKER SQUADRON.

Royal Canadian Navy : Matchmaker Squadron, 1963-65.

Four sailors, two from HMCS Columbia.

Four sailors from the "Matchmaker Squadron", circa 1963. (See Wikipedia item explaining the Matchmaker Squadron, although the item is about HMCS Restigouche). The two men identified are David Arkwright, front left, who provided these photos, and Barnie Barnard, front right, in civvies. The two other men (centre & top right) are unidentified. But it's confusing – David Arkwright says that he and the man with the HMS Leander cap tally swapped caps for the photo.
