During World War II, the Halifax, a port city in Nova Scotia, Canada, was used by the Allied forces, particularly the British and Canadian military, to advance troops and supplies to Europe. It served as a critical staging point for the transatlantic movement of troops, equipment, and resources, especially during the D-Day preparations. The strategic location of Halifax made it an essential hub for operations in the North Atlantic.
Canadian destroyers HMCS Algonquin and HMCS Sioux were among the flotilla charged with pounding the Germans' coastal defences. There were Canadian minesweepers clearing the paths for the ships. Canadian soldiers landed at Juno beach without tank support, but they drove further inland than any of their Allies on D-Day. The night before Canadian paratroopers landed behind enemy lines to prepare the way for the invasion.
The Halifax War, often referred to as the "Halifax Explosion," was not a war in the traditional sense but rather a catastrophic industrial disaster that occurred on December 6, 1917. It involved the accidental collision of the SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship laden with explosives, with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia. The explosion resulted in the destruction of much of the city, killing approximately 2,000 people and injuring thousands more, making it one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. The disaster had significant social, economic, and political impacts on Halifax and Canada as a whole.
It is unlikely that a complete crew list for HMCS Kincardine from 1945 is readily available online. However, you may find some records or resources through naval history archives, museums, or organizations dedicated to Canadian naval history. Local libraries or historical societies in Kincardine, Ontario, might also have relevant information. For more detailed research, contacting the Canadian Navy's historical branch could yield better results.
