***NEWS***NEWS***NEWS***Due to the efforts of Peter Bennett (SAWGP volunteer) the unmarked grave of South African Merchant Navy Seaman Alexander Alkana will be marked soon in Liverpool (Everton) Cemetery. In addition Adam Joseph Pharo another South African Merchant Seaman will be remembered (Special Memorial) on same private memorial. Due to Peter's extraordinary research efforts these two men will finally have a headstone to mark that they too served and did their duty. Both men died off ship, one in an air raid and the other in an accident ashore, but due to the rules governing remembrance at the time, they are not commemorated by the CWGC, but are identified as wartime casualties as per the South African Roll of Honour for WW2. Crosby Memorials of Liverpool within 5 minutes of discussion with them have very graciously donated the headstone and will see to it that it gets installed. We are very humbled by their donation and wish to extends our heartfelt appreciation for their donation and assistance.
