In the Council House ("Town" Hall if you like) in Bristol, there is a roll of honour of Merchant Nave deaths in WWII on public display. It is a large volume in a glass case in the public part of the building and I think they periodically turn the page.
Angie, Thanks for getting in touch. What we're trying to do is to build up a nationwide network of schools which have merchant seafarers on their war memorials. Do you know any teachers in your area who might be able to help with this? Best wishes, David
