April 22, 2017 by Robert Mackay Leave a Comment

IMG_2007Peter Lynch is turning 97. The photo was taken at a small gathering in the wardroom of HMCS DISCOVERY, Vancouver’s Reserve Naval Division, where Peter was presented with a cake by David Reece of the Naval Officers Association of BC following the Association’s AGM.

When World War II’s war against Germany wrapped up, Peter was serving in HMCS MATAME on the deadly Murmansk Run. MATAME then helped escort 15 surrendered U-boats into Scottish ports.
