Crew Photographs HMCS Dauphin - 1942 - 45
From the Photo Albums of Petty Officer Fredrick Fletcher RCN.
In December of 2003 I came into possession of a collection of photographs taken between 1942 and 1945 by Petty Officer Fredrick McColl Fletcher on HMCS Dauphin. The photographs are of crew members on board ship and on shore leave. Every effort has been taken to accurately transcribe the names from the penned inscriptions on the photograph borders. Some of the notes (in brackets) appear to have been added at a later date.
J. R. Hind - 10/12/03.
