Interviewer: Mr. Boicey, what does Remembrance Day mean to you? Remembering the people I served with. Remembering those who didn’t return. They were volunteers willing to give up their life, most of them were first class seamen, a lot from the Prairies, people that weren’t familiar with the sea and they became sailors equivalent to any navy in the world at the time.
