Studland is a tiny village in Dorset, so what significant contribution did it make towards D-Day?

The village and beach were used as a training ground in preparation for the D-Day landings in Normandy. This website has the story and a very nice picture of the area. I hope they moved the locals out before they started their practice! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studland Apr 07 04, 3:05 PM

Yay Maggie! No, this massive bunker is right in the cliff on the beach well away from the village, so the locals were quite safe. Churchill, Montgomery, Eisenhower and George VI were there watching with their bins. Beautiful pictures here: http://www.tommythomas.org.uk/henry/ Apr 07 04, 4:41 PM

In which company did Indian management legend Sumant Mulgaonkar make a significant contribution (Bharat Heavy Electricals, Steel Authority of India, Dunlop India, Telco)? It is said that in the late 19th century, a certain art-world figure in the U.K. made a significant and now-traditional contribution to the celebration of the first of May. Who was he, and what did he do? Did the group ever make back home in the cartoon Dungeons and Dragons and if so how? What is significant about the 1963 Chiffons hit "He's So Fine?"
