Today's comes from the personal collection of Mrs Daphne Hill.

This photo shows the ATS on the march, eyes cast towards a stage covered with union jack flags. They are likely looking towards the officials stood upon the stage, just out of view. Unfortunately we do not know the location of this image, but it was taken some time in the early 1940s.

These photographs come from the personal collection of Private Tom Cox, RAPC.

Cox was a national serviceman who joined the Royal Army Pay Corps in 1950. He served for three years, transferring firstly to the Sherwood Foresters, and later the 1st Battalion Royal Leicestershire Regiment, who were stationed in Korea from November 1951-August 1952.

He documented his time in Korea through a series of photographs, which the museum is now pleased to house in our archives.

Today marks 82 years since the D-Day landings.

This map was made by the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA) to explain D-Day, including the planning leading up to the Normandy landings, the events of the actual day, and the impact of it in the following weeks.

A few interesting features to note are:

1. The comment at the top of the map reading: 'This map is not for the Orderly Room. It is to be displayed where the largest number of people in the unit can study it.'

2. Key areas of all fronts of the war are highlighted on the map to the left. This includes 'Soviet forces open attack on Mannerheim, June 9th', 'Clearing Upper Burma', and 'New angle on Japan'.

3. A selection of photographs on the right hand side, visually documenting key events throughout the start of June 1944.

Today's story highlight is from the 1996 edition of the AGC journal - Exercise Cooperative Light.

The exercise took place in Hungary in October 1995, making up part of a peace keeping scenario, with 10 different participating countries. Approximately 120 UK personnel were sent over, with a large contingent of AGC in attendance.

The journal notes that those serving were keen to work with members of other European nations, and the Hungarians were noted as being excellent hosts.

Today's is this photograph of the staff of Nee Soon Primary School, Singapore, taken in June 1971.

Nee Soon Primary was one of 10 Army Children's Schools in Singapore & Malaya. It was established in 1954, and catered to children aged 5-11. The school unfortunately closed in 1986, due to lack of students. Those few that remained would transfer to Peixin Primary School the following year.
