I see your point, Stuart, however, I know the names of my great grand fathers going back many generations. A number of them served at Dover in the 1800s, maintaining the Fleet or as merchant navy sailors.
I resent not seeing a memorial to the sailors of Britain who crossed the seas over the centuries. I recently saw on a document one great granddad of mine inhabiting Dover in the 1500s, and I reckon he too sailed the seas.
So this brings me back to my original question: why are so many Dovorians from times past excluded from a memorial, even though they worked for, or on, the Fleets of Britannia?
