Her Majesty’s self sacrifice and devotion to duty, the Commonwealth and our Country is a example to us all. It resonates with the sacrifice of so many in the Battle of the Atlantic. Ma’am you have been an inspiration! Fair winds and following seas, rest in peace.

BOAM chairman @GDoyle560 said:
“We are delighted to receive this donation but there could not be a more poignant time for us to unveil these plans. We want the memorial to act as a warning especially now to Russia and future generations of the consequences of conflict in Europe

My grandad Stanley Curtis was chief steward in the merchant navy in ww2- survived being torpedoed three times and spent 40 days in an open lifeboat at sea before being rescued. Also escaped from being taken prisoner in Timbuktu… wish I’d met him 🙏 #sacrifice
