📸 A fantastic early 1900s postcard showing soldiers stationed at Landguard Fort ready for a game of cricket!

​Sport was a huge part of garrison life, offering a bit of healthy competition and downtime away from duty. We love the mix of cricket flannels and military tunics here, capturing a proper moment of Fort history. 🏏

A big thank you to Mark from Discover D-Day for bringing his fantastic mobile display to us on Sunday, 23 August! 🪖🎖️
​Visitors had a brilliant time stepping back in history to explore detailed maps, authentic radio equipment, and fascinating insights into both the Allied and British forces involved in the Normandy landings. Mark's passion and depth of knowledge made the experience incredibly informative and engaging for all ages.

​Thank you, Mark, for such a wonderful, educational display and for keeping this crucial history alive!
