@PennyMordaunt @FemConstruct Thank you for sharing. This is a remarkable project.

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

Date for your diary!
Next weekend there will be a crowdfunding event to help create a monument to Coastal Forces that will stand at Victory Gate, Portsmouth. It will recognise the remarkable bravery of those involved in two world wars and conflicts since, many of them Royal Naval Volunteer Reserves. What is raised will be doubled. If you can help please do. Thank you.

For aficionados of the Royal Navy in World War II, I’ve just finished an utterly delightful and easy read about ‘Boats Crew WRNS’.
Really uplifting, an illuminating alternate view of D-Day, and a gem stocking filler… @GoldenDuck_ltd
