Philatelic Specialists Society of Canada: McCarthy and His Majesty’s Canadian Ship

There were 106,000 men and women enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy that served in 1,140 warships during World War II. This included commissioned, non-commissioned vessels, stone frigates (depots), submarines and anything crewed by R.C.N. personnel.

The Royal Canadian Navy became the third largest navy in the world. Very little identifiable mail exists. Peter’s presentation deals primarily with identifiable mail to and from personnel serving in small boats. By Peter McCarthy
