SH of C HQ Company at Danny Park Estate, England, August 1942. Location unknown in 1987. CONFIRM PHOTO From the Regimental History, page 112: "The move south [in October 1941] to relieve a battalion of the Welsh Regiment whose headquarters were at Danny Park, Hurstpierpoint, took place on the 24th and was carried out without a hitch. Danny Park, a large estate, boasted a lovely old Tudor mansion. The owner, Sir William Campion, and his family lived in one wing of the house, with the rest being occupied by Battalion Headquarters. The officers' mess was in the great hall, a vaulted oak-panelled sixty-by-forty-foot room with armour hanging up among the life-sized oil portraits of Sir William's ancestors. In this same hall was a plaque commemorating the meeting which took place there in 1918 when Prime Minister Lloyd George met with his cabinet to discuss the terms of surrender for Germany. Scattered throughout the estate were Nissen huts and tents tucked under the trees to avoid detection from the air. Six and a half miles directly to the south was the sea and Brighton, and between the Seaforths and the sea lay the South Downs, an open country of high hills and rolling farmland. The battalion found itself responsible for the defence of a 12-mile front on the South Downs, and with the platoons scattered about on the various defence posts they inherited, it was a 22-mile drive for Lt-Col. Ferrie or anyone else to make a tour of inspection of all subunits, billets and posts. It was a most unsatisfactory situation."
