Brenda, who shared her memories & photos to our NF Remembers WWII project, sadly died 5 January. During WWII she sang at camps throughout Hants and New Forest, mostly on makeshift stages of carpet covered packing cases. @NFKnowledge nfknowledge.org/contribution…

This has been such fun to be involved with. The archive library is fascinating to look through. And the photos we all take now will be the archive of the future 📸
We were so pleased to support the work of Real New Forest - CDA in making their wonderful archive of historic #NewForest #commoning #photographs available online: nfknowledge.org/group-contri…

Night work on the Supermarine S.6. Its designer R. J. Mitchell is supervising the work ahead of the 1929 Schneider Trophy race at Calshot. The S.6, with its new Rolls-Royce R engine, won the race. Two were built at Supermarine in Woolston. Mitchell later designed the Spitfire.

During #WWI 15 year old #NewForest resident Eleanor Dent wrote an extraordinary account of the #Belgians experience in the Forest at #Burley entitled The Chronicles of the Belgians. Thanks to @HeritageFundUK this has been digitised. Read it on #NFKnowledge nfknowledge.org/contribution…

Though you can see a lot of brick & concrete at Lepe today there are no contemporary #WWII photos of the #DDay site so we have been using @HeritageFundUK funding to work with @wessexarch on this reconstruction you can explore on #Sketchfab. follow the #NFKnowledge link above

Lepe Country park in the #NewForest has some of the best preserved #WWII remains associated with #DDay in the country. Just under 8000 men embarked from the Q2 hard. Not to mention the #Mulberryharbour construction remains. #RememberanceDay

The #NewForest played such an important role in both wars and the echoes of surviving activity from these periods allow us to take a moment to think about that legacy on #RememberanceDay. You can find over 400 articles on #NFKnowledge nfknowledge.org/datasources/…

In mid-September 1914 the 7th Division formed at #Lyndhurst #NewForest before moving to #Southampton docks on 4 October 1914. Local lore says that the column leaders reached Southampton docks whilst the tail was still in Lyndhurst. #RememberanceDay #WWI nfknowledge.org/contribution…

Have you visited the Carter memorial near Buck Hill in the #NewForest? It commemorates Samuel Carter who was killed whilst hunting in 1883. If you can't get to it today you can explore a #3d model on #Sketchfab skfb.ly/6OunZ
