Re: Merchant Navy Day
Remembering my father and father in law who both served in the M.N. during the war.
Also the many brave men who went back to sea time after time knowing the danger they faced
R.I.P.

Re: Merchant Navy Day
It was rather lonely paying my respects today at the local memorial but the Torry Community Council had laid a wreath in their memory.

Re: Merchant Navy Day
Here in Victoria not possible flor any ceremony to mark this very special day due to lock down.
