I'm going to have to get up that way and have a look at that. Not so long ago I read a non-fiction book called 'Convoy' written by historical writer Martin Middlebrook. It almost reads like a novel although often very grim and heart breaking.

It is based on convoys SC122 and HX229 crossing the Atlantic in March 1943, seen as something of a turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic, one of the most critical battles of World War Two. It is written in the very detailed style of Martin Middlebrook with maps and charts but never loses sight of the fact this is about people and ships and planes and the horror of war. Also it examines the battle from both sides of the conflict.

I think next time I'm up in the Midlands I'll get a train to Liverpool and have a look at that museum.
