The national Merchant Navy Memorial bears the names of those merchant seafarers and fishermen killed in the First and Second World Wars together with the Falklands Campaign for whom there is no known grave but the sea. Together with those of their ships, there are some 12,000 names from the First World War, 24,000 from the Second and 17 from the Falklands Campaign. Men and women are commemorated, their ages ranging from 13 to 74. Civilians all, yet for their valour in actions in 1915 and 1917 respectively, Captains Frederick Parslow and Archibald Smith were posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain’s highest military decoration. | |
