University of British Columbia Honour Roll of Students that Died during WW11
Page 1 of 2
The book of remembrance for students that served and died in WW1 and WW11 are kept in an enclosed case at the War Memorial Gymnasium at UBC. At one time, there was a page turning ceremony, similar to that that takes place daily at the Memorial Chamber at the Peace Tower of Canada’s Parliament Buildings. Almost 2000 UBC students and faculty served in WW11.

Note that this was the first public notice that Lieutenant Bull was missing. It would not be until September 1943 that the family was finally told he was dead. The ship was attacked on December 30th, 1942, Armour's 39th birthday. The official date of death was recorded as January 1st 1943.
Armour was the only Canadian on board the HMS Fidelity, which was a Special Service Vessel of the British Royal Navy during World War II. While it says he was a passenger, it is unclear where his final destination was. A number of books have been written about the HMS Fidelity, often called the 'mystery' ship.

MONUMENT COMMÉMORATIF DE HALIFAX Nova Scotia, Canada
Ce Monument commémoratif, érigé au parc de Point Pleasant dans la capitale de la Nouvelle-Écosse, est l'un des rares hommages concrets aux hommes disparus en mer. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la Marine royale du Canada perdit vingt-quatre navires et près de deux mille membres de ses effectifs.
Le Monument fut érigé par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission et inauguré en novembre 1967 selon les traditions navales, par M. H.P. MacKeen, lieutenant-gouverneur de la Nouvelle-Écosse, en présence de M. R. Teillet, alors ministre des Affaires des anciens combattants.
Le Monument est formé d'une grande croix du Sacrifice en granit, de douze mètres de haut, que peuvent facilement voir tous les navires qui approchent du port de Halifax. La croix est montée sur une grande plate-forme de granit portant 23 panneaux de bronze sur lesquels sont gravés les noms de plus de trois mille hommes et femmes qui périrent en mer.
L'inscription, en français et en anglais, se lit ainsi :
1918-1945
À LA MEMOIRE
DES HOMMES ET DES FEMMES
DE LA MARINE DE GUERRE
DE L'ARMÉE ET DE LA
MARINE MARCHANDE
DU CANADA
DONT LES NOMS SONT

Le 19 juin 2003, le gouvernement du Canada a désigné le 3 septembre de chaque année comme étant une journée de reconnaissance de la contribution des anciens combattants de la marine marchande.
