Did you know that a high stakes secret meeting of allied leaders, including Winston Churchill, took place in a Hampshire village just a few days before D-Day? Locals living in Droxford in the Meon Valley could hardly believe their eyes when an armoured train with VIPs arrived at their little train station on the 2nd June 1944. Who was onboard and why had they come to Droxford for a secret WWII meeting?
