The manager in my dad's Midas shop has an elderly friend, who is afraid he might pass away soon. Well, in his young days he served on a Canadian HMCS Moncton. He has saved some newspapers in which the capture of U-889 is shown. So he wants this manager to save them. And the manager has let me post them here. Let's hope this turns out well.

That ship is retired, and a new HMCS Moncton retains the proud name.

Enjoy!
