Harold "Hal" Roberts (Primary Source)

In about 2010, The Memory Project interviewed Harold “Hal” Roberts, a veteran of the Second World War. The following recording (and transcript) is an excerpt from this interview. Born on 19 March 1924 in Lancashire, England, Roberts joined the Local Defence Volunteers (later the Home Guard) at age 16. After leaving school, he joined the British Merchant Navy in 1941 and served as a radio officer with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Norwegian Merchant Navy. He sailed in various theatres during the war, including the North Atlantic (see Battle of the Atlantic). In this testimony, Roberts recalls his experience in the merchant navy, including heavy losses to enemy submarines during the Murmansk Run, the convoys that delivered supplies to Russia. Roberts emigrated to Canada in 1953 and was employed by the federal public service for many years. He died on 10 September 2018 in Ottawa, Ontario. (See also Merchant Navy of Canada.)
