CASTLE, Kenneth WWII Kenneth was born in Nova Scotia and joined the Army, serving with the Princess Louise Fusiliers (PLF). Sailing in the Mediterranean Sea enroute to Italy on the Troopship SS Monterey, the ship came under attack by twelve German Dornier Torpedo Bombers. The captain called for a crew to man a 20 mm anti-aircraft gun on the top deck. Sergeant Castle had barely reached his post with a crew when he spotted an enemy aircraft diving down on the Monterey. He sounded the alarm and the PLF and Cape Breton Highlanders opened fire, shooting down the Dornier. Minimal damage was sustained to the ship but a nearby ship, the Santa Elena, which had almost two thousand Canadians on board, was torpedoed and sunk.
