World War I, the Merchant Navy, comprising commercial ships and their crews, played a vital, yet often overlooked, role in supporting the war effort. They were crucial for transporting troops, supplies, and raw materials, and also served as hospital ships. Merchant ships faced significant dangers from German U-boat attacks, with many ships and sailors lost during the conflict.
