I started this website with the intention of providing photos of the WW2 memorial panels and basic information about the ships and people commemorated to help researchers and relatives of those who lost their lives that could not visit the site in person. As my research progressed it slowly sank in just how important the Tower Hill area is to the history of the United Kingdom so I decided to expand the scope and have added new sections about the history of the Tower Hill site, the WW1 memorial (though as yet without detailed photos), the Falklands War memorial, and a memorial to people who were executed on Tower Hill that I discovered tucked away to the East of the WW2 memorial. Even if you came here primarily looking for details of a relative, I cordially invite you to explore these other sections of the site which I am sure you will find interesting.
Click the links on the left to access the resources. For the WW2 memorial, you can browse the site by Ships Name or memorial panel number. If you do not know which ship your relative served on, start by checking this out at the CWGC "Debt of Honour" website. The Additional Entries button will take you to information about Pilots and Lighthouse Services, Fishing Vessels and entries that were added to the memorial after it was first opened. There are separate buttons for the WW1 and Falklands memorials and to access information about the Tower Hill site.
Unfortunately, some of the photos I took on the original photo-shoot have not proved good enough for blow-ups. I have replaced a lot of these but there are still a number of sub-standard ones that I will replace when I can get to London.
I would like to thank the many people that have given me help and encouragement whilst building this site over the past year - especially members of the SeaTheShips website.
