During the two World Wars thousands of men were killed in service of the Merchant Navy bringing supplies to the UK and to our Soviet Allies in the Arctic convoys. Today is Merchant Navy Day when they are remembered; much good it may do them.
I see the ensigns flying, my heart fills with pride, I see our colours carried, with seamen by my side, I remember ships and mariners - ( and the debt we owe) Now resting in the oceans, fathoms deep below.
