14 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL REGORD ONE OF A NOBLE CREW An editorial from the Globe and Mail, Toronto, Oct. 18th., 1940. Canada has had reason to feel proud of the young men from this Dominion who have distinguished them- selves in the air. Canadian squadrons, fighting as such, have fully maintained the magnificent standard set by the Royal Air Force, and young Canadians have done their share in making the Royal Air Force itself the Wonder of the World. The brilliant naval action in the Mediterranean is of special interest to this city because Sub-Lieutenant G. H. K. Strathy of Toronto took part in the action While serving on the Ajax. A young man of exceptional promise and great ability, Sub-Lieutenant Strathy was by aptitude and training the type of man who has made the Royal Navy feared and respected. He gave his life in the course of an action which Will fill another memorable page in British naval history. His family has contributed three sons to the armed forces. Toronto shares their pride in the part which Sub- Lieutenant Strathy played on so notable an occasion and their grief over his loss.
