Hope all is well with you and yours.
Just a note to say that as this is the 70th Anniversary of the
Battle of Britain Brixham Battery Group have been reliving local
history. |

On Tuesday August 24th
12 group members 'took over' Dartmouth Castle during the Dartmouth
Castle 'Attention Tuesday' English Heritage event.
Part of their 'Make do and Mend' month.

Group members attended as Home Guardsman, Air Raid
Wardens + US Army Press Corps. Having explained to over 700 visitors
what it was like to 'man the guns' defending Dart Estuary and
Harbour during WW2 visitors were surprised to see the wartime
Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Dave Clarke) arrive with his
ATS driver and proceed to inspect the guard of honour. |

Heritage Event on September the 9th,10th,11th and 12th.
