Hi Terry.
I have just started reading a book called the Fourth Service, by John Slader ibsn1-899694-45-5.
I am only on page 38 and this is what he says.
Meryside's war record is impressive. It outshone every port worldwide. Around 120 million tons of ocean-going shipping representing an armada of 12,000 ships, each of 10,000tons, were docked and unloaded, and often repaired, fitted out, loaded and despatched-all with the utmost speed and urgency. 23,million tons of coastwise shipping was handled, representing 75 million tons of cargo of which 56.5 million tons were vital imports. More than 4.7 million troops passed through, of whom 1.2million were American. all this despite heavy bombing.
Despite the niggling twit Liverpool can hold its head up high mate.
Cheers Des
