Mail trawls for navy veterans

The Royal Mail is looking for veterans and descendants of Merchant Navy crews over the past 200 years.

It comes ahead of a new series of limited edition Merchant Navy stamps, which go on sale in September. Royal Mail is keen to talk to relatives and surviving crew from the Battle of the Atlantic and Arctic Convoys. A number of people will be invited to a reception aboard the Cutty Sark.

The Cutty Sark reception is a perfect setting as she is a memorial to the Merchant Navy and its losses in two world wars.

(In 1951, the Cutty Sark Society had been established by her admirers. With the support of the public and the Society’s patron, the Duke of Edinburgh, funds were raised to rescue her. In 1954, she was placed in dry dock in Greenwich, London. There she served as a unique example of breath taking ship design and as a symbol of Britain’s proud maritime heritage. She also became the memorial to the Merchant Navy and its losses in two world wars).
