amateur Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 In the mid-60s, when a teenager, I lived on Sheppey and remember that the family home in Sheerness had a tide-mark that resisted all attempts to decorate over. The local vicarage had an even higher tide-mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they did , Holland suffered as much , if not more than we did . Just looked it up and overall there was 2,551 deaths from both sides of the North sea and 1800 were from the Netherlands and 30,000 animals were drowned .
