Description

Dorset's military heritage is a complex and fascinating story that spans centuries. From the Iron Age strongholds of the Durotriges tribes to the modern sea forts and nuclear bunkers of the Cold War, the county's landscape has been shaped by generations of defensive countermeasures. The region has played a significant role in many historical conflicts, including the Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Viking, and Norman invasions, as well as the Peasants' Revolt, the Swing, and the English Civil Wars. Dorset's men have fought bravely in various wars, including the Peninsular War, South Africa, and both World Wars, with the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force playing vital roles in defending the nation. Dorset is also home to several notable military figures, including Sir Walter Raleigh, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, and Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence. Their stories are an integral part of the county's military heritage, which is explored in this book.
