As D-Day approached, troops and ordnance was amassing close to the embarkation points on the South Coast.

In a 200 acre wood on the edge of the village of Southwick was the encampment of the 21^st Army Group, where they were preparing for the launch of Operation Overlord.

Closely guarded by RMP, briefings and training exercises filled the days in the countdown to 6^th June.

Good to know...

Once through the checkpoint at the woodland entrance, visitors will be walking on hard track surface – total distance 700 metres.

Seating will be available on logs and tree trunks along the way.

Visitors may spend as much time as they wish in the woodland camp before boarding the shuttle bus to return to the village event.

Buses will run at intervals determined by when they are filled with 20 – 22 people.
