Thank you all for your kind comments regarding my website - a labour of love for me.
Kyt - thanks - the Lascars deserve their mention, they were very much part of the Merchant Navy and many were lost with no grave but the sea.
Kitty - thanks - the DEMS gunners (24,000 Navy, nearly 5,000 killed), (14,000 Army, 1222 killed) paid a heavy price and again like the MN were not given the recognition they deserved.
Spidge, I wish I could claim to be a baby but alas it wont wash
