West Africa Squadron Memorial Fund

Neil Coutts – £100

All the best with a very worthwhile memorial fundraiser dedicated to servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lois Owen – £5

Marton Sasvari – £100

Trevor Waddington – £40

A West Indies Squadron also conducted slavery supression duties. Wouldn't Southsea would be a more fitting place for the memorial?

Ronald Richard Charles Penfold – £100

Roger Willoughby Reed – £1,000

About time someone put forward the other side of the story so the "Woke" brigade can have the truth emblazoned in front of them and see how much good the British Empire did. OK it did some harm but it also spawned the greates democracy in the world and the most populous democracy in the world. Without the British Empire there would not be nearly as mant democracies as there are to day.

It's about time UK had some credit for the abolishment of slavery. The last country to officially abolish it was Ethiopia. (Not white!!!)

It is about time the Royal Navy’s involvement in suppressing the slave trade was recognised.
