About the event
Speaker: James Porter
Landing 133,000 troops on a hostile and well-defended coast was a huge challenge. Keeping them supplied and ferrying reinforcements required more than landing craft. Come and hear how Mulberry Harbours were created in secret and towed to France to meet that vital need.
Admission: £4, includes tea/coffee and biscuits. No need to book.
