Just to remind all those of you who may have relatives who served in the Merchant Navy that today is officially designated Merchant Navy Day from September 2000. "On all the oceans white caps flow You do not see crosses row on row For those who sleep beneath the sea Rest in Peace for your country is free" (From Billy McGee's British Merchant Navy at War 1939-1945)

Thank you all. We should never forget that without the men of the Merchant Navy that war might have had a very different ending. In Memory of Henry & Lawrence Gannon
