HMCS PRINCE DAVID / ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY RCNO 204 / "ON THE BRIDGE" / WATERCOLOUR / 15" X 22" / 24 AUG 44 / LT. D.A COLVILLE
Notes
English: Alex Colville painted this view of the bridge of HMCS Prince David, a Canadian infantry landing ship serving in the Mediterranean. An officer (right) keeps watch with binoculars, while another member of the crew, wearing a Prince David sweatshirt, sunglasses, and headphones, operates equipment, possibly a radar set (bottom left). Following their involvement in the successful landings in the south of France early on 15 August 1944, Prince David and HMCS Prince Henry, another Canadian infantry landing ship, continued to transport reinforcements to the invasion area until the 24th.
