This labyrinth of tunnels was home to 700 men and women of the Royal Navy, Army, RAF and Allied nations that directed Operation Neptune - the naval phase of D-Day. The Fort Southwick UGHQ had a direct link to nearby Southwick Park where Supreme Commander General Eisenhower was based in the weeks leading up to D-Day.
