    Volume 30 Issue 3 HMCS SACKVILLE Newsletter June–July 2012 WENDALL BROWN HONOURED Len Canfield The 2012 Battle of the Atlantic dinner aboard HMCS SACKVILLE was not only a time to remember and honour all those who served during the longest battle of World War II but also to recognize Commander Wendall Brown who is retiring after nine years as Commanding Officer of SACKVILLE. Vice Admiral (ret’d) Hugh MacNeil, Chair of the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust welcomed guests and trustees, including Rear Admiral David Gardam, Commander Maritime Forces Atlantic and Joint Task Force Atlantic; naval historian Roger Sarty, the guest speaker and Commander (ret’d) Rowland Marshall. Dr. Sarty outlined the significance of the Battle of the Atlantic, its impact on the Atlantic region and the St. Lawrence and Canada’s major contribution to the Allied victory at sea. Cdr Marshall, a retired Saint Mary’s University professor and long-time trustee reflected on his wartime experience as a young sailor. A number of presentations were made to Wendall Brown for his unstinting service to SACKVILLE and the Trust over the years. These included the Maritime Command Commendation which was presented by RAdm Gardam. A number of speakers noted Wendall’s ‘roll up your sleeves’ involvement in all aspects of ship operations, from the bridge to the engine room as well as his ‘good fortune’ on behalf of Canada’s Naval Memorial when making the rounds of Dockyard shops and services. 1 Cdr Brown has turned over command of SACKVILLE to Lieutenant Commander Jim Reddy who has been actively involved with the ship since retiring from the Navy in 2003, including serving as First Lieutenant (XO).
