What I forgot to mention is that I looked up the history of this U-Boat. What I am more concerned about is the marking. I wonder how many of these are out there to be found??
In the next while I hope to send some images of the different areas that I collect.
It's actually the U-190, which saw service in the RCN as HMCS/M U190.
And this would explain the postmarks from two different vessels -- from the Montreal Gazette, 25 July 1945. The U190 was being escorted on a ceremonial tour of communities along the St. Lawrence River and Gulf of St. Lawrence, with stops in Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Quebec City, Gaspé, Pictou, and Sydney.
I heard that the sub was sunk as target practice after the war. What is interesting though is the marking and I have yet seen another one similar to it, so, I was wondering.
