Eisenhower’s People Visit
Gosport’s D Day Exhibition
Thirteen hundred American students from
former president Dwight Eisenhower’s People to People organisation
booked to visit the D Day exhibition The Blunt End – The Build Up to D
Day at Priddy’s Hard at Explosion!
Alison Walton, Education Officer at The
Museum Of Naval Firepower said, “ The American students had the
opportunity to feel what it was like to sit in an Anderson Shelter while
bombs are falling and talk to workers who supplied the Navy with shells
and cartridges”
The Priddy’s Hard Armament Depot was one of the busiest naval munitions
suppliers in the United Kingdom during the run up to D Day. 4000 local
people were employed to fill cartridges, modify and repair guns and
mines and make the boxes that stored the supplies
