Liverpool
Post & Echo 1943:—
The May-time attacks can fairly be reckoned a major engagement
in the Battle of the Atlantic. The result was a genuine British
victory. For this defensive achievement the citizens of Merseyside
and the Civil Defence Services has the right to regard the
outcome of the May-time raids as in some sense his or her personal
achievement. Whether warden or ambulance driver, rescue worker
or W.V.S. cook, fireman or first-aid worker, each one can look
back on May week of 1941 and can say :—
" That was my battle. I helped to win that victory. When
Britain stood alone, and the enemy struck at her most savagely,
I had my chance to help the country keep fighting—and
I took it." |
