Remember with us, as we do. A WELSH BASED SITE, with its own tale, but with all lost souls remembered. A vested interest of all those lost in the Merchant Navy, but all lost remembered and a small place to grieve such a loss.  On land or sea or air, we shall remember them. LEST WE FORGET.

Her Name Was Tregenna is a site created as a tribute to the Captain and men of one particular ship, though it now carries additional material.

I will be in my home town for the 11/11 weekend, this year sees also the re-dedication of the hall of memory and cenotaph etc. The towns people and local business etc, have donated greatly over the past year to ensure this occurs. The people of Barry in South Wales, have certainly shown that they remember.

I will tonight add your names to a new section on our message board and hope that all that wish to, may add those that they may wish to remember. LEST WE FORGET.

I posted earlier my personal memorials,
I still have a sermon to prepare for Sunday morning's remembrance service, all these postings give me the encouragement to know that we do not forget, we must not forget,
and it is our duty to remember and tell those who follow after us.
part of the importance of doing our family research is to know our history, our own family's tragedies as well as their joys,
and record it for all time for the next generations.
I may, if all right with you folk, mention these memorials in a general way, certainly not names or places on sunday.
I have been in tears reading through all the pages.
such sadness, such courage
such willingness to serve, but such a loss of such young lives.
May God bless you at this time of remembrance. and I hope that doesn't offend anyone - it's not intended to.
thank you for sharing your poignant stories
