caption_attribution_description: English: This digital photo was scanned from an original photograph that I believe my father to have taken sometime in 1941 while serving aboard the HMCS Prince David. As he is now deceased and I now have all his photos in my position, I believe that I have the right to publish this and other photos from his collection.
