In memorial of

Merchant Navy Seamen who lost their lives in the Naval
"Operation Neptune"
June 6 ~ September 1944

They manned the merchant ships that provided the supply line for the Armies, and as such they were a prime target in "Operation Overlord" the Normandy Landings, the first phase in the "Liberation of Europe"
Also in memory of Merchant Navy Seaman from 1939 ~ 1945 who lost their lives in European coastal waters until Europe was finally liberated in May 1945.

Look out to sea and say a prayer
For those who rest beneath,
They gave their lives that you may share
A Europe that is free.
