I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation for the FINANCIAL SUPPORT to date, of the AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING & MARITIME<br />
INDUSTRY, for this NATIONAL FUND-RAISING APPEAL. Most sadly, due to the passing of the years the number of Australian WWII Merchant Navy Veterans,<br />
has significantly reduced. We are however very pleased that this project of Respect and Recognition, will see the names of those Merchant Mariners, who<br />
gave their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today, permanently recorded on the Merchant Navy War Memorial, Kings Park Canberra. Our motivation is to<br />
ensure that the ‘national memory’ of the courage and heroism of the critical role played by our Merchant Navy, in WWI & WWII, does not continue to fade<br />
and to ensure that the Australian Merchant Navy “A title emblazoned in battle and honoured in freedom” is recognised as an important part of Australian<br />
Maritime History and Social Culture. David Field, FAICD, Chairman, The Merchant Navy War Memorial Fund Ltd
