My name is Anthony Hogan and I run a wartime remembrance website for the Liverpool and Merseyside area that covers stories from the two world wars.
I have been reading about the part the Chinese community played during the wars and would like to add a page to the website dedicated to their stories.
I would like to hear about anyone from the Chinese community who served with the forces or Merchant Navy. lived or worked in the Merseyside area during the wars, war effort workers, bombing victims, evacuees. Anything at all that covers the wartime years.
I would be interested to speak to anyone who remembers the war years themselves or anyone who has family stories they would be willing to share. I can then put them together on the website so ours and future generations can read their stories.
I am keen to learn about the WW2 bombing at Pitt Street in May 1941. Searching records I can only find details for 7 people who were killed. I know the number of dead was a much higher figure and would be grateful for any information about this tragedy.
Full credit will be given to anyone who adds a story. I welcome any help or advice from people, and I hope that together we can produce a fitting tribute to those that suffered and gave so much during wartime. Let us remember them.
