The CBC has an article about Robert Timbrell who rescued hundreds of troops from the beaches of Dunkirk, commanded Canada's last aircraft carrier, and later became the head of the Canadian Navy.
Timbrell died in April at the age of 86. A full military funeral will be held on Monday in CFB Halifax, and will be followed by a 13-gun salute from HMCS Sackville, a Second World War Canadian corvette.
