The Merchant Navy Memorial
At the end of WW1, Tower Hill was the site chosen for a war memorial to Merchant Seamen "With no grave but the sea". Further memorials were added after WW2 and the Falklands Islands Campaign. You will find photos of the memorials and details of all those recorded on them.
