Did you remember May 8th
Last weekend Eileen, my wife and myself attended the annual reunion held by shipmates of my old ship along with widows and family members
of old shipmates of ships that weree part of B6 mid-ocean Escort Group.
Each year we gather at a hotel on the Wirral on the weekend nearest to May 8th. When we first started,20 years ago this was the weekend we attended the special service held at Liverpool Cathedral to commerate the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest battle of ww2, the battle we owe our existance today to. The last time this event was held was in 2003, the 60th anniversary of BOA. then the Navy and the Cathedral said that it was the last they were holding. However we have carried on meeting and remembering. Last Monday May the 8th I looked around for something that would indicate that people were remembing the end of this battle and the end of WW2, I saw nothing. Did you remember it ?.
