Most people who pass by such a war memorial commemorating the victims will not have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. A dialogue invented by the writer Paul Harding might help. It is from a medieval detective novel, and the following exchange takes place: "Tell me, brother, when you went to war in France with your little brother, were you happy?" Athelstan felt his heart leap. "Of course." He smiled thinly. "I was young then. My blood was boiling, and I longed for great adventures." "And when you found your brother dead and cold as ice on the battlefield and returned to England... what was there?" Athelstan looked out into the courtyard; it was slowly getting dark. "In the Gospel, Sir John, Christ says that at the end of the world, the heavens will shake, and the planets will fall to earth in blazing fire." Athelstan closed his eyes. He felt Francis's spirit very clearly. "When I found my brother dead in the field," he continued, "it was like heaven falling to earth for me."

The River Tarrant is a small but historically significant river in Dorset, England. Here's a breakdown of its key characteristics: Tributary of the River Stour: The Tarrant is a 12 km (7.5 miles) long tributary that flows into the larger River Stour. Location: Its valley lies to the east of Blandford Forum in Dorset, within the chalk downland area of Cranborne Chase. Source: The river rises near Tarrant Gunville, specifically in the grounds of what was Gunville House. Flow Direction: It generally flows from north to south. Mouth: The Tarrant joins the River Stour at Tarrant Crawford. "Tarrant" Villages: A distinctive feature of the river is that eight (or sometimes cited as nine) villages and hamlets along its course bear its name as a prefix.

This is the site of Tarrant Rushton RAF during the Second World War. Gliders would take off the evening before D day and the first boots on the ground were from said gliders. The destination was Pegasus bridge in France 🇫🇷.

A place with a lot of history, and a bench if you need to stop for a drink and a snack
