Additional Information

Historical Note: The Fovant Badges are a set of regimental badges cut into the chalk downland, Fovant Down. They were created by soldiers garrisoned nearby, and waiting to go to France, during the First World War; the first in 1916. Nine of the original twenty remain, and are scheduled ancient monuments and recognised by the Imperial War Museum.
