Britain's What's On Event Guide
Monthly Meeting, Martlesham Heath Aviation Soc. Fri. 5th July 2024
Friday 5th July 2024, at 7:30pm we have another Monthly Meeting evening.
Title of the Talk: Returning to France; The Suffolk Regiment in Normandy 1944 with Taff Gillingham
Synopsis of the Talk:
We recently recalled the 80th Anniversary of the Normandy Landings on 6th June.
Taff tells the story of the men of 1st Battalion Suffolk Regiment, from their extensive training to the landing on D-Day itself and those first few hectic days in France.
Many of the anecdotes were relayed first hand by 1/Suffolk veteran friends Taff knew and spoke with over the years, at Old Comrades meetings, in their homes and on trips to Normandy and Holland. Their views were often surprising.
It’s a fascinating, and personal, story of ordinary men being asked to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times.
There will be a collection of original 1/Suffolk artefacts on display from the campaign in Northwest Europe to accompany the talk.
Taff Gillingham is a very well known Speaker on all things to do with Suffolk Soldiers in WW1 and WW2
Our Martlesham Heath Control Tower Museum has come on leaps and bounds. As well as what we have done to our Control Tower Museum - we are looking forward to some really great monthly talks, a couple of days out, and a truly fascinating Special Event on Sunday 8th September - when we will have something definitely never seen before in Suffolk !
