Plymouth Victory

A Moment from Yesterday



Look way off in the distance behind the North American Mennonite and Brethren farm boys (looking rather dazed at their surroundings) and you will notice the ruins of ancient Athens. These young men volunteered to tend horses and other livestock on ships sent to Europe to replenish herds following the Second World War. This particular group, from the voyage of the Plymouth Victory in 1947, formed strong bonds and continued to hold reunions well into the 1990s.
