17th February 2005	Tony Jones. Dear Alan, the Purfleet event,as advertized in an article in the 'Yellow Advertizer' newspaper,which is distributed around the various towns in the area,intends to 'tell the history of the Zulu and Boer wars over the next month'.Displays will include a number of artifacts from the Battle at Rorke's Drift,plus displays of uniforms,paperwork and photographs.The centre is located on Centurion Way,off Tank Hill Road,via the Circus Tavern exit from the A13.A search engine of 'Purfleet Heritage and Military Centre will bring up their website.The organizers are Alan Gosling and Richard Smith.Entrance fee is a very reasonable £2.50 for adults,£1 for children,and under fives get in free.A discount card can be purchased if you intend to visit more than four times.Their telephone number is 01708 523409 or 866764.The photgraphs in the local newspaper look sufficiently impressive to warrant a visit to the centre.Tony Jones
