Dedicated to the men and women of the merchant navy who gave their lives willingly for the freedom of others, and have no grave but the sea. "In ocean waters no poppies blow, no crosses stand in ordered row, their young hearts sleep beneath the wave, the spirited, the good, the brave, but stars a constant vigil keep, from them who lie beneath the deep" - (2001) EILEEN MAHONEY WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
