There is also correspondence with the French Authorities in relation to his receipt of the French Legion of Honour Medal. A brief note on the importance of the Mulberry Harbours - the Mulberry Harbours were floating artificial harbours designed and constructed by British Military Engineers during World War Two. They were used to protect supply ships anchored off the coast of Normandy after the D Day Landings of June 6th 1944. The idea for such harbours came from several people and in particular Winston Churchill. The harbours were intended to protect the ships from storm and enemy attack. Many of the French ports had been destroyed and/or booby trapped by the Germans. The disastrous British attack on Dieppe in 1942 rekindled the interest in the artificial floating harbours. Two were built for D Day. Mulberry A was constructed off Omaha Beach to supply US forces. Mulberry B was built off Gold Beach at Arromanches to supply British and Canadian troops. Mulberry A was destroyed in a storm a few days after it was built. Mulberry B was operational for some 10 months after the landings. In the 10 months after D Day Mulberry B was used to land over 2.5 million troops, 500,000 vehicles and 4 million tons of supplies. The harbour is credited by some historians with shortening the war by increasing the effectiveness of the allied supply chain during the invasion. The harbours were a huge feat of civil engineering. They were built hastily in the dry docks on The Thames and Clyde. They were pulled across the channel by tugs and assembled off the French coast. They were operational within 12 days of the landings. The archive also includes a war time letter from Louis Mountbatten from South East Asia Command Headquarters August 1945 writing to "thank you for your great kindness in presenting me with a painting of Mulberry. I was informed of this just before I left London recently but owing to the Japanese surrender I had to leave so quickly that I was unable to write at the time and thank you". There is also a signed letter from Winston Churchill dated 24th April 1945 thanking Colonel Steer-Webster for "the excellent coloured reproduction of Mulberry B which you have been good enough to have prepared for me" and "thanking you for the various models and relief map of the Mulberry which you have sent to my map room during the past months". There is a secret movement order to Steer-Webster and in reference to Juno Beach June 1944 and other wartime orders (see illustration).
