In 2010, The Memory Project interviewed William “Bill” James Archibald Black, a veteran of the Second World War. The following recording (and transcript) is an excerpt from this interview. Black was born on 18 April 1923 in Toronto, Ontario, but grew up in Montreal, Quebec.

In this testimony, Black discusses his responsibilities as a telegraphist, listening to Morse Code transmissions and copying them down by hand. He also discusses conditions on board and the dynamic between crew members. Black served in the navy until 1966, and then went on to a career in university and city planning in Ottawa, Ontario. He retired to Victoria, British Columbia, where he died on 1 June 2014 at the age of 91.
