This memorial commemorates the repatriation of men, women and children from captivity in the Far East at the end of World War Two. During 1941 hundreds of thousands of Allied Forces left Liverpool and other ports to serve overseas. Many of those men were destined to spend over three and a half years in captivity; thousands did not return. The ships listed here brought over 20,000 Far East prisoners of war and civilian internees back to Liverpool in late 1945. For those who survived captivity, the struggle continued long after they returned home. This memorial was unveiled on 15 October 2011. |
