MOD

One of four or five markers set into our path. We thought that they might have marked the various rows of barrack huts making up the camp which was once there.

Substantial and well made markers, good for at least a century - certainly a lot longer lived than the camp they served. Perhaps some of the chaps in the camp had been concrete craftsmen in civilian life and making these markers was as good a way as any of taking their minds off the beaches to come.

More likely, I suppose, that the things were mass produced for the MOD by some concrete accessories manufacturer. Good for any camp site in the land.
