debris4spikeOn the second day of my holiday I went to The Tower of London (Dad gave me the money for the ticket, which was a lovely gift). Just opposite the station is the merchant Navy Memorial, for all those buried at sea. Dad's uncle, who was only 7 years older than him, was in the merchant Navy, and was sunk 3 times ... but survived, and only passed away in the early '80's.
The memorial full of names of those who dies in WWI and are buried at sea
The garden of rememberance, with names from WWII who are buried at sea
On the entrance to the gardens
