Through the Wheat City Journal article of Sept. 17 re: the destroyer HMCS Kootenay, and the amazing coincidence of the ship’s plaque being here in Brandon, held by Leslie Buckman, who graciously passed it on to the crew, I extend grateful thanks from the crew and myself.

The plaque and the Wheat City Journal clippings are now permanently houses in the Naval Damage Control Centre in Halifax.
