ww2dbaseCorvette Trillium was ordered by the British Royal Navy for use by the Royal Canadian Navy. She entered service in 1940. She was decommissioned from the Royal Canadian Navy in Jun 1945 after the end of the European War and was transferred back to her original owner, the United Kingdom. She escorted 44 convoys between Newfoundland; Halifax, Canada; Iceland; and Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, with the final one arriving in Northern Ireland on 6 Jun 1945. She was sold into the civilian market after the German surrender. She operated under the name of Olympic Runner in 1950, Otori Maru No. 10 starting in 1956, and Kyo Maru No. 16 starting in 1959. She was in service through the 1970s.

My father, John Franklin Campbell, had served on the Trillium as signalman. On one of his many voyages, he was involved with the rescue of many men after 3 ships were torpedoed off of the east coast in February 1943. I still have an old yellowed picture cut out from The Hamilton Spectator newspaper that my grandmother had saved.

My father John Edward (Jack)Jenner also served on the Trillium as a radio man. I am interested in finding a list of all the convoys they escorted and U-boat battles during the war and any crew lists showing him onboard. I'll have to check out The Hamilton Spectator archives for that article.
