Looking for all info on "Heroes" by David Partridge of Botany Bay.

MESSAGE:

I have just discovered the Tregenna website through looking for more info on: "Heroes" by David Partridge of Botany Bay. The poem was contributed to my "Merchant Navy Songs" PermaThread on the Mudcat website:-

www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=109942#2302012

I would hope to advise of the poetry section of Brian's site and again would just like to help further.

Have advised of the avenue: With a little help from my Merchant Navy Friends:

MESSAGE:

I hope you will find much of interest to you there. The thread started
off as a way of presenting the songs my friend Ron Baxter collected
while at sea, together with some of his own compositions and others
that we included in a production we did for Fylde Folk Festival and
other events, "Farewell to the Clan Line". Contributions have come from
around the world, and I intend to include a link to your website from
the thread. I would also very much like to have your permission to post
the many relevant poems from your site within the Merchant Navy Songs
thread. Full acknowledgement of authorship and the source of the
material would be given.

Any further information you can provide about David Partridge and the
"Heroes" poem would be gratefully received.
