Ce que je veux vous dire, c'est qu'il est vrai que les gens qui ont servi pendant six ans ont été exposés plus longtemps aux dangers, mais le revers de la médaille, c'était que dès que les navires quittaient le port d'Halifax, de Saint John, etc., les marins se trouvaient immédiatement exposés aux dangers et ne savaient pas s'ils allaient en revenir.
What I'm basically saying to you is that it's true that people who were there for six years were exposed for a longer time. But the other side of the bloody coin is that from the time the ships left Halifax harbour, Saint John, or wherever, they were exposed immediately, and the odds were whether you were going to get it or not.
