The Merchant Navy and Wartime Convoys - 19 September 2013:
The Merchant Navy stamps salute the heritage of the UK’s trading fleet of ships, run by various companies, which export and import good from around the world, as well as carrying passengers, and which historically have been intertwined with the fortunes of the nation. The accompanying miniature sheet honours the contribution of the Merchant Navy in times of war, when its ships assisted in the war effort. 2013 will mark the 70th anniversary of the turning point of what is called ‘the Battle of the Atlantic’, after which losses reduced considerably.
