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. Please see attached photos.
