Join us on Zoom for a Speaker Series meeting presentation from Helen Edwards about her new book, Dutchy’s Diaries: Life as a Royal Canadian Naval Officer in his own words.
=0D=0A=This carefully researched and faithfully reproduced volume of his journals (1916-1929) begins with Dutchy’s early naval experiences in the theatre of battle during the First World War, then follows his peacetime progress on both coasts of Canada in the “Roaring Twenties.” It continues in a return to the Mediterranean aboard HMS Valiant and concludes with North American patrols in command of HMCS Champlain. In a naval career that spanned nearly four decades and led him to ports of call and engagements around the globe, John “Dutchy” Edwards rose from cadet to Commodore in a career rich in adventure and service to his country.
=0D=0A=The monthly Speaker Series is hosted by the Victoria Genealogical Society.
