The military heritage of Suffolk from the Iron Age to the present day. It will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about Suffolk.
For centuries, Suffolk’s rural and urban landscape has been shaped by conflict; from Celtic tribes and the Roman Empire, Anglo-Saxons and Viking raiders, Norman invaders to local rebellions. Suffolk’s shoreline has defended against Dutch and French invasions, and coastal defences can still be today. The county was once again on the frontline during the First and Second World Wars, enduring attacks by air while preparing again for assaults by sea. Over the centuries Suffolk also became home to numerous military units: the renowned Suffolk Regiment and is predecessors fought in campaigns all over the world, while members of the US Army Air Force served at airfields scattered across the county during the Second World War. The county has retained physical connections to its military past, from fortifications and buildings to memorials. Weaponry and munitions were designed and manufactured in Suffolk, the county and its inhabitants endured attack from the air, homes were requisitioned, and latterly bunkers built against the threat of nuclear attack.
This book provides a fascinating insight into the events, people and places which represent Suffolk’s military heritage. It will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about Suffolk’s remarkable military history.
