Ibsley HF-DF – Ginger tom cat and the Huff-Duff on the hill.
Animals like horses and dogs took on vital roles during the First and Second World Wars. It’s not often you hear a story about a cat! One of the unlikely residents of the DF Station during the war was a ginger tom cat.

Just inside the entrance way to the DF Station bomb shelter a new interpretation panel is to be installed. This panel links to another new panel being installed on the inside of the brick blast wall that once protected the DF Stations tower.

This is one of a series of interpretation panels. You can find out about the rest here
