Cold Comfort

Legion Magazine’s interactive website Cold Comfort has won the
BEST INTERACTIVE WEBSITE award at the 2017 Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
The site tells the story of two American ships that ran aground in a storm and broke
apart on the rocky shores of Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula on a winter
night 75 years ago. Sailors struggled to leave their sinking vessels
while local people risked their own lives to save them.

The winner was announced on Nov. 14, 2017, in Toronto.

Heroes and villains

Story by Mark Zuehlke

On July 10, 1943, the 1st Canadian Infantry Division—about 18,000 men—stormed ashore in Sicily as part of Operation Husky and filed into the island’s mountainous heart. The division had been the first Canadians to deploy to Britain in December 1939. Now they marched to battle. As they pushed toward Mount Etna, German resistance stiffened, but their unflagging tenacity prompted the Germans to nickname them the “Red Patch Devils” after their divisional shoulder patches.
