Can you help please:

I continue to seek poetry and prose, ballads and in reality anything that aids in tribute, remembrance:

Another site may best deliver what I seek, but all is new and growing.

All assistance is sought that we gain much ourselves of and for them ?

The Merchant Navy Man (In wartime)

Nothing gets a bunch of sailors more fired up than a pretty movie star. British actress Anna Neagle is in Montreal to appear on CBC Radio's Merchant Navy Show, and she's warmly received by the 1,200 men who pack Montreal's Sailor's Institute. To their delight, she comes ready with a poem about the bravery of the merchant mariners who daily defy German U-boats on the Atlantic.

The Merchant Navy Man (In wartime) was a poem read by Anna Neagle in 1942:
