Royal Canadian Navy : Crew of HMCS Kamsack, October, 1943.
Many thanks to Richard Bowes for this photo, who obtained the image from his brother-in-law, Michael James MacLellan (better known as Jamie MacLellan).
Richard says: " My wife's father was on the Kamsack.
His name was Michael MacLellan [and was] from New Waterford, NS. "
These names and ranks were submitted with the photo. A few ranks don't match the uniforms or badges or are otherwise questionable,
and are marked with [*] or [?]. Also, extra info may be found if there is a [Note] link.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
