Liverpool will take centre stage as the UK commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic (BOA 70) this weekend.
The theme of BOA 70 , which marks the longest continuous military campaign of the Second World War, is to illustrate the past, present and future of the UK’s rich maritime heritage. Particular emphasis is placed on the role played by Battle of the Atlantic veterans – both Merchant and Royal Navy – in helping overcome the appalling threat that German U-boats posed to our country’s supply lines during the war.
