Due to an extremely generous donation received, Billy McGee is now in possession of both volumes of the Norwegian publications Sjøforklaringer fra 2. Verdenskrig Vol. I & II. (Maritime Inquiries from WWII), which consists of direct copies of official reports stored at the Norwegian National Archives. The publications also included the names of hundreds of serving British Merchant Seamen on Norwegian ships and over 900 Merchant Seamen of foreign nationality killed, which included 271 British Merchant Seamen killed whilst in service. Of these, 218British Seamen named in the publications as being killed are recorded with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and commemorated on the Tower Hill Memorial in London, while a further 13 are buried ashore in official war graves.
Having amended his original list from 2009 and having three successfully accepted in 2013, He now finds there are 69 non commemorated, of which he has two ongoing cases under review by the CWGC. The remaining 67 are to be compiled into one document to be submitted to the CWGC along with the Norwegian publications to hopefully bring to a successful conclusion their inclusion as our war dead.
The following list are the names of these sixty-seven British Merchant Seamen, mainly boy ratings who deserve to be honoured.
