Remembrance Day at the Desert Rats memorial, is a well set up event, with many riders, drivers and foot soldiers attending.
Very busy event this year, just need bigger speakers now, to hear at the back...

This monument is dedicated to one of the most famous units of the British Army in the Second World War, the Desert Rats. The 7th Armoured Division fought and distinguished themselves against the equally famed Afrika Korps commanded by Erwin Rommel.
The monument is a replica of the Cromwell tank named Little Audrey that was used by the division. The tank sits on a brick plinth and the dedication explains the division was stationed in Thetford in preparation for the invasion of Normandy. The monument is a bit out of the way, but worth a visit if you are in the area.

It was so great to be able to attend a normal memorial day event, after the past few years.
The stalls and displays were fantastic and the visit from the Household Cavalry with their lovely horses was an added bonus.
The service was as good as usual and the pipe band leading it was great.
Well done to everyone who organised this.
We look forward to future events.

Nothing much to say about this, what you see is what you get - a well-preserved tank on top of a stone base. The memorial is in the middle of nowhere but extremely well kept and well worth a stop off if you are in the area.

A very fitting memorial to all the young men of the armoured divisions who bravely fought for the freedom that we have today. There are good walks in the forest around the memorial . This was the land where they trained for their part in the D Day landings.

This memorial is a fitting reminder of the work of the Desert Rats and other divisions during the Second World War. The tank mounted on the plinth that has a poignant inscription describing the role of these brave men. It is just off the roadside and has a car park so it is easy to stop, have a wander and pay respects. The men trained in the woods nearby and this is a fitting tribute.

Great memorial to the 7th Armored Division "Desert Rats". Why Thetford? Because their only time in the UK was when training in Thetford forest. If you want to know more follow the circular woodland walk which starts behind the Cromwell Tank, the tank they were training in !. The memorial is situated in Thetford forest just off the A1065 between Mundford and Hilborough, just look for the pair of flag poles.

We had got told to find this memorial as it was worth a stop and it was so beautiful what has been done. The tank really is quite poignant and touching to see. We didn't go for a walk along the track because it was pouring with rain, but next time we are hoping weather holds out.

Are there toilets onsite?

Hi, normally there are no toilets on site as it is located on Forestry Commission land and operates like going for a walk in any wood, beach, hill, etc. When the Museum is open there are toilets there, including a Disabled one. The same applied for the annual Memorial Open Day and Remembrance Day events, when additional toilets are available on site.

Hi, Les Dinning and I started the process of creating a memorial when we met by chance on a railway station outside London - I was wearing a Desert Rats tie and Les approached me. By coincidence, we lived close to each other in Milton Keynes. I co-opted a colleague, Major Roy Standring, ex 7Bde, as was I, to be a three man committee and together we achieved the initial memorial i.e. the tank a plinth. We had as Patron The Field Marshall Lord Carver and he held a couple of our meetings in the House of Lords. The start of the memorial was not without its problems, some of which were caused directly by Breckland District Council who objected to it but now loves it!! It was 'Sandy' of Forest Enterprise for whom my son worked who 'made it happen'. I travelled to Germany to by old Brigade to raise some of the funds. Sadly, Les died of cancer, as you may be aware, but only days before his death he was still enthused by the idea of developing the site.Roy Standring later succumbed to the same disease. One day I would like the opportunity to revisit and to see the progress that has been made but not when the site is overly busy. When might be the best time to do this, please? Best wishes, Derek Bird 07887 767919

Derek, we have the annual Memorial Open Day on 17th June 2018 where there will be plenty of the Association on hand to meet up with and also the Museum will be fully open by then. If you want to visit earlier please let is know via contact tel number on Trip Advisor or via the contacts on the website link and we may be able to get someone there beforehand to open up the museum. We also have our AGM on 12th April at the Schoolroom at Forest Enterprise Headquarters, Santon Downham, Brandon, Suffolk. if you wish to pop along and say hello to the current Committee.
