A veteran of the Battle of the Atlantic looked back on his wartime "adventure" as Liverpool prepared to mark the battle's 80th anniversary.
Denis Rose, 98, was a sailor on merchant ships during the Battle of the Atlantic. The battle was the longest continuous military campaign during WWII and saw the Allied and Axis powers fight for control of the ocean.
The Allies worked to secure Britain's merchant shipping, bringing goods in and out of the country. As Britain's main transatlantic convoy port, Liverpool had a crucial role, receiving 1285 convoys during the war.
