Preparations for D Day

‘Police calling… All members of the public must leave sea front and immediate vicinity at once, and those without special permits or temporary passes must go outside the barriers.’

This ban on visiting Southsea seafront was issued on 17 August 1943. Boarding house and hotel keepers had been forewarned by the Police that all guests who were not in the area for an approved purpose must be out by this date, and that no more visitors were to be accepted.
