Mill Road, Marcham, 20th June 2015
On 20th June, a couple of days after the 200-year anniversary of the Battle
of Waterloo, a unit of Green Gym volunteers entered the field at Manor Farm,
Marcham in response to a report of massed ranks of Himalayan Balsam deployed
in the area and posing a severe threat to the native wildlife. After an initial
assessment by the unit leader, Kevin, the unit advanced into the field.
Initial deployment
|
First sighting of the enemy.
|
It was soon realised that the enemy had achieved successful
methods of infiltration which were going to require new tactics.
|
A drumhead conference was held to review strategy. Note the
patriotic Wellington boots.
|
Field rations.
|
The end of the day. An example to the others! It was agreed it had been a close-run thing
and although we had made good progress we might yet have to return and fight
another day.
