Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships - D.E.M.S.
During the war, merchant ships were provided with defensive
armaments and as shortages of naval personnel made it impossible to place a full
compliment of naval gunnery ratings in every vessel, the army augmented the
numbers. The army personnel on the Fort Longueuil were from the Royal Artillery
6th Maritime Regiment.
Due to a strict allied interpretation of the
"Articles of War", naval D.E.M.S. personnel were designated "deck
hands" or "supernumeraries" because if they had been classified
as military, the vessel would have been classed as a warship. The naval crew
aboard the Fort Longueuil are recorded as "deck hands" in the ship's
crew list.
A total of 2,713 Royal Navy Sailors and 1,222 members of the
Maritime Regiments, Royal Artillery died aboard merchant ships during the Second
World War.
