Have you ever wondered about your family’s history? Local historian David Hopkins discovered a huge amount about his father’s role in the British Merchant Navy during World War Two, researching and editing his memoirs. His talk tells this story as well as highlighting the crucial role played by the Merchant Navy not just in victory but survival. Most importantly it emphasises that we all have a story to tell.
