Author Chris Wren will give a presentation at Annesley United Church in his hometown of Markdale, Ontario, on National Merchant Navy Day, September 3, 2025. The talk will focus on his father’s experiences in the British Merchant Navy in the early phase of the Second World War. The U-boat commanders referred to this period as “The Happy Time” due to their feeling of invincibility and the high rate of success of sinking the merchant ships while easily evading the few, and ill prepared, convoy escorts. The presentation will begin at 7 pm. Donations to Annesley United Church will be accepted. Signed copies of the book will be available.
