Visit by Cultural Property Protection Unit
The Cultural Property Protection Unit is a specialist British Army unit created to safeguard historic sites, monuments and artworks during armed conflict. We were delighted to welcome a group of 15 under Captain Cheeseman on the morning of the 20th September. Their officers include specialists in archaeology, heritage, museums and law. They are the descendants of the monuments men who recovered artworks and cultural objects looted by the Nazi regime. This was their second visit to the Garrison Church and they are a very interesting group to accomodate.
