By kind permission of the Royal Military Police, Association members from Chichester, and Arundel & Littlehampton Branch’s, were given access to the Officer’s Mess at Southwick House to be given a guided tour of the D-Day Map Room. Enabled by Lt. Col. M.T. Fielder RTR, the group were entertained by Mr. Richard Callaghan, curator of the RMP museum, who regaled them with some little known facts associated with the greatest invasion of all time. After a very informative presentation Mr. Callaghan (seen here third from right) then accompanied the party around the RMP museum, which is well worth a visit. Refreshments were obtained in The Red Lion afterwards.
