A WW2 training area where practice was undertaken by Canadian troops on a mock up of Nazi defences of how best to breach these fortifications on the French coast for the forth coming D-Day operation in June 1944.

This photo reminds me of my childhood. I was born in Farnham and as a child, I would often spend hours exploring Hankley Common looking for spent bullet cases (and live ones!)etc. I knew that this wall was something to do with the WW2, you have filled in the details! Thanks.
