HMCS Uganda at Esquimalt, BC

Scanned from an 8 x 10 in my father's collection. From the background shoreline, this image appears to have been taken at Esquimalt, BC. Click on the original size image for the most detailed view.

The inked in flag and other pen scrawlings would probably be the work of myself or my brother, we were fascinated by Dad's stories of life at sea!

My father was a Signalman on the Uganda throughout its WW2 service with the RCN. He has left a number of photos, unfortunately with few individuals named.

I have recently aquired some of my grandfather's (Commodore A.C.M. Davy)articles.
One of which is the scissors that my grandmother used to lauch the ship.
They are from Birks and say"Lauch of the H.M.C.S. Uganda by Mrs A.C.M. Davy, Lauzon PQ May 20th 1953.
My mother and Uncle always tell vivid stories about my Grandfather and this ship!
Thanks!
A beautiful remembrance
