Memorial to commemorate the evacuation of the population of Inver, Tarbat and Fearn during WWII.
'THE EVACUATION 1943-44
This stone commemorates the contribution made by
the people of Inver and the Tarbat and Fearn areas
who left their homes and land at short notice
from December 1943 to May 1944.
Their evacuation was needed to enable British armed forces
to prepare for the Allied Invasion of Normandy.
This concentrated training of the 3rd Infantry Division
and the naval Force 'S' was considered vital
for the D-Day landings on 6th June 1944,
and helped bring World War 2 to a successful conclusion.'
