        The third of September is Merchant Navy Day in the UK.
        ‘Lest we Forget’
        Most commodities, materials and a good amount of food, reaching the average household, at one time or an other have traveled in a ship. Take for instance your car. The ore, it is made from. The fuel to smelt the ore. The resultant Steel. The chemicals and oil for plastics. Rubber for the tyres. Finally the oil and petrol to make it go to take you to the supermarket for you to buy life’s necessities and luxuries. Most, were transported by Ship, crewed by Merchant Seamen of many nationalities.
        Thank you if you have read this far.

            I did indeed read it entirely. These sailors – you – are forever honored.

                Very proud of my Grandad , Uncle and Father all of whom served in the Merchant Navy either in WW! or WWII. Often wonder just what experiences they went through. I believe my Uncle’s ship was torpedoed and the crew rescued only to have that ship torpedoed and a second rescue on the same trip . Fortunately there was no third time .
