This plaque is to commemorate
P.F.C. Clifford Maughan
who parachuted into the garden of this

He was taken prisoner by a German soldier
billeted in this house, who then in turn
surrendered to him. P.F.C. Maughan went
on to fight in Normandy, Holland and to
survive the war.

This is also to perpetuate the memory of
all the other men of the 2nd Platoon,

to change the course of history.
