Ships served in: HMCS BRANDON - Served in Brandon 16 Sep 1941 - 31 Dec 1944
(LS01) HMCS BRANDON K149 - Harbour craft HC146 alongside HMCS BRANDON // Submission from Donald (Bud) Rose: HMCS BRANDON is secured to a mooring buoy in the Bedford Basin, the town of Bedford can be seen in the back ground. As the mast has not as yet been relocated to aft the bridge, which was done during the South Shields England refit in Jan 1942, this photo would have had to be taken in 1941 prior to that. Note that she is also wearing Western Approaches paint scheme. (LS02) HMCS BRANDON K149 - The ship is still painted in the classic Western Approaches scheme, but the colours are more now more pronounced. Note the Rocket Launchers attached to the side of her forward gun turret. (LS03) Sailors working on the quarterdeck of unknown corvette // In the background, left to right are HMCS COLLINGWOOD K180, HMCS BRANDON K149, HMCS ORILLIA K119, HMCS CHAMBLY K116 (LS04) HMCS BRANDON K149 alongside - Note the BRANDON Bull on her gunshield and outboard of her the gunshield art of HMCS DRUMHELLER K167 // Submission from Donald (Bud) Rose: this photo was taken at HMC Dockyard St. John's Nfld. As the ship is still "prim" it is likely that it was taken early in the war. Also, the mast has not been relocated aft the bridge, done in Jan 1942 refit. The most probable date of photo would be around Sep 1941. (LS05) HMCS BRANDON K149 at sea
