May, 1944. Allied troops gathered in the towns and villages of the South of England in preparation for the largest amphibious landing of troops the world has ever seen. Villagers braced themselves, as in the distance can be heard the rumbling of heavy trucks, heralding the arrival of the Americans in Tilford.
Tilford, a Village at War is one of the premier second world war re-enactment events in the UK. The day begins and ends with the colours ceremony on the village green, visitors explore the military encampments, visit the control room, witness bomb disposal, learn about rationing and the war on the home front and experience the chaos of an air raid.
