JERSEY
MERCHANT MARINE ROLL OF HONOUR
World
War 1 & 2 - Detailed information
Compiled
and copyright © Doug Ford 2005
The
memorial is to be found in Jersey Maritime Museum, New North Quay, St.
Helier (across the road from The Weighbridge).
There
are no roses on sailors graves,
Nor wreaths upon the storm tossed waves,
No heartbroken words carved on stone,
Just shipmates bodies floating there alone,
The only tributes are the seagulls sweeps,
And the teardrop when a loved one weeps.

This
memorial commemorates the service and sacrifice of islanders who served
in the merchant marine in all parts of the world during the First and
Second World Wars. Although their work was vital to the success of the
war effort, they were vulnerable to enemy attack because their ships
were generally slow, poorly armed and often loaded with dangerous cargoes.
Due
to the lack of adequate records, we are unlikely to know the full number
of merchant seamen from the island who died in the service of their
country.
