Montgomery & Albury Heath

Join me as I explore the fascinating World War II history of Albury Heath in the beautiful Surrey Hills. Many visitors enjoy the heath today without realising its important role during the Second World War. In the lead-up to D-Day, thousands of Canadian troops were camped across the Surrey countryside as preparations intensified for the liberation of Europe. One of the most significant moments took place here at Albury Heath, where Field Marshal Bernard “Monty” Montgomery addressed large numbers of Canadian soldiers before they departed for the greatest amphibious invasion in military history. In this video, we visit the location, uncover the story behind the troops who were stationed here, and remember the sacrifices made by those who served during one of history’s most important campaigns.
