Eighty years to the week that the Germans pulled back their submarines from the grey wastes after being mauled by allied naval and air forces, an impressive monument – not just to those who died at sea, but those who survived as well – was dedicated in the grounds of Our Lady and St Nicholas’ Parish Church in Liverpool.
