Today, Sunday, May 5th, we commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic. Not only to honour the struggle, sacrifice, and loss, but also to celebrate heroism and courage in the face of daunting obstacles. The longest battle of the Second World War, it lasted from the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939 until victory in Europe in May 1945. But victory came with a high cost. 4,600 Canadian lives were lost, and the Royal Canadian Navy lost 14 warships to U-boat attacks and another eight ships to collisions and other incidents in the North Atlantic. However, the battle completely transformed the Royal Canadian Navy, quickly expanding it from a tiny, ill-equipped, and under-trained force into one of the largest navies on earth. But any battle is about more than facts and figures. It is about the people who fought, and their stories of courage and grit. Join us in commemorating the heroic Canadians who gave their all in the Battle of the Atlantic so that we may have the chance to live in peace.

The demand for Oak has been around for thousands of years, particularly popular amongst hard woods for its exceptional durability and elegant look. Demand was particularly prevalent during the 1700's that saw the rapid expansion of the Royal Navy which around its peak amassed some 300 ships, the most famous HMS Victory which can be seen today at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is estimated to have used some 6,000 tree's in its construction (90% being Oak). During the race to dominate the Oceans of the world the Royal Navy sought control of new Oak territories as demand sky rocketed, leading conquests in Scandinavia, the Baltics, Germany, Russia and even New England what are now Maritime provinces. Present day the worlds Oak is sustainable however this wasn't as much of a factor in history, many wars were Faught over control of this special tree. (Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson's Flag Ship HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar Oct. 21st, 1805) The worlds oldest Naval vessel still in commission.

Today not only marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, but it’s also National Fish and Chip Day! Because of the exceptional links between fish and chips and WWII and D-Day in particular, National Fish and Chip Day is honouring all those involved in the D-Day landings, the largest naval, land and air operation in history, and will be celebrating the nation’s favourite dish today, to coincide with the D-Day anniversary. Fish and chips were called ‘Good Companions’ by Winston Churchill; his Government safeguarded the supply of fish and potatoes to ensure the dish remained unrationed as it was felt it would be detrimental to the morale of the nation. Fish and chips are often considered to be the British national dish and this humble meal was a vital ingredient of the war effort in both the First and Second World Wars. But even more incredible is that during the D-Day landings, soldiers who found themselves behind enemy lines at night, on Sword Beach and the other landing sites, and needed a way of telling whether someone nearby was a friend or foe - they devised a two-word code…one would call ‘fish’ and the other replied ‘chips’! Whether you have them with salt and vinegar, ketchup, mushy peas or even curry sauce, from the paper with your fingers, a wooden fork, or go all out with a plate and cutlery, it’s those personal preferences that make them so enjoyable and eating them today has a much more special meaning. Let us know how you eat yours 😉 #DDay80 #NationalFishandChipDay #FishandChipDay2024 #obscurenationaldays #funfacts #havingfunwithhashtags
