This red commemorative plaque records: Lepe Beach Site of the 'Mulberry' harbour construction and start of the 'PLUTO' fuel pipeline - both vital to the success of the 1944 Normandy landings Recorded plaque organisation: Transport Trust.
Mulberry "B" and Mulberry "A" were portable artificial harbors crucial for supplying Allied forces after the D-Day landings in World War II; Pluto was a submerged oil pipeline that provided fuel from the UK to the battlefields of France, both essential for sustaining the military operations post-invasion.
