OTD 80 years ago, 14 October 1944: U-1223 torpedoed HMCS Magog near Pointe-des-Monts, Quebec; 3 killed, 3 others severely wounded. Ship towed to Montreal and written off as a total loss. Post-attack photos: Canadian War Museum 20030315-002_p1 (1/2) #NavalHistory#CanadianHistory#MaritimeHistory

Some years ago we had a visitor at the museum looking for photos and information, since he had been in Magog at the time. It turned out he appeared in in some of the photos seen here. Among the badly wounded, he was evacuated to Montreal by Canso flying boat. (2/2)
