Description

In preparation for the anticipated landing on the shores of mainland Europe, which became reality with the “Overlord” operation in June 1944, a program to construct a chain of embarkation hards was set in motion in the summer of 1942. During the following 12 months, 68 of these concrete aprons and their attendant facilities were built around Southern Britain, each capable of berthing between one and five landing craft. One of these was laid down at The Stone, on the June 1999: River Blackwater, as the base for four Landing Craft, Troops or LCT’s and this still survives.
