The junction of the A29 London Road and the A283 at Pulborough in West Sussex. The house with the impressive chimney still stands opposite what is now a mini-roundabout.

Having arrived back in the United Kingdom from fighting in Italy in February 1944, the 3rd County of London Yeomanry moved to Worthing in Sussex. After a brief period of leave the Sharpshooters were training and re-equipping in preparation for Operation OVERLORD. The regiment was based in Worthing from February 1944 until it was sent to Portsmouth on 4 June for embarkation to Normandy.
