They were true heroes. My oldest uncle was in the British Merchant Navy on the Murmansk run. They had nightly bets as to which ships would be sunk that night by the U Boats. Over 70% went down, average survival time was 3 minutes. He went as a young mid 20s man and returned white haired and looking 60! No one seems to remember their sacrifice.
