On Wednesday 27th March our most recent branch social activity saw us visit the D Day map room located at Southwick House near Portsmouth.
We were there a few years ago but the story is so interesting that it warrented another visit.
The currator,Richard Callaghan,gave a talk on the history of the planning involved in the D Day landings in Normandy on 6th June 1944.
The talk was enhanced by the fact that he was able to use and refer to the Map which became an intergral part of the operation.
The map still hangs in its original location on the wall of a room in Southwick House.
There were many interesting anecdotes concerning the men who took part and but for whom our lives would be very different today.
Before the talk which took place at 2pm, some of us had lunch at the adjacent restaurant at Southwick Park Golf Club all in all it was a very pleasant afternoon enjoyed by 39 0f our Members.
