During the Second World War Maiden Newton was recognised as an important railhead for the D Day preparations. In recognition of this important role that Maiden Newton played during WW2 a group of local residents decided to put on an event in June 2008 called Maiden Newton at War. The event has been held every 2 years now.

In June 1666, the Dutch and English fleets fought a ferocious battle on the southern North Sea. With an eye for detail and a sense of drama, Willem van de Velde portrayed the moment when the English flagship Royal Prince (at left) ran aground on a sandbank and was taken by the Dutch. To signal their surrender, the English crew hauled down their flags.

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want
than take what you give that I need
and I've beat my head against so many walls
now I'm falling down, falling on my knees

Unconditional Surrender is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square, but said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen.
Imperial War Museums (IWM) is a British national museum organisation with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London.
Founded as the Imperial War Museum in 1917, the museum was intended to record the civil and military war effort and sacrifice of Britain and its Empire during the First World War.
The museum's remit has since expanded to include all conflicts in which British or Commonwealth forces have been involved since 1914. As of 2012, the museum aims 'to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and "wartime experience"'.
Originally housed in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham Hill, the museum opened to the public in 1920.
In 1924 the museum moved to space in the Imperial Institute in South Kensington, and finally in 1936 the museum acquired a permanent home which was previously the Bethlem Royal Hospital in Southwark.
The outbreak of the Second World War saw the museum expand both its collections and its terms of reference, but in the post-war period the museum entered a period of decline.
The 1960s saw the museum redevelop its Southwark building, now referred to as Imperial War Museum London, which serves as the organisation's corporate headquarters.
During the 1970s the museum began to expand onto other sites. The first, in 1976, was a historic airfield in Cambridgeshire now referred to as IWM Duxford.
In 1978 the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Belfast became a branch of the museum, having previously been preserved for the nation by a private trust.
In 1984 the Cabinet War Rooms, an underground wartime command centre, was opened to the public.
From the 1980s onwards the museum's Bethlem building underwent a series of multimillion-pound redevelopments, completed in 2000.
Finally, 2002 saw the opening of IWM North in Trafford, Greater Manchester, the fifth branch of the museum and the first in the north of England.
In 2011 the museum rebranded itself as IWM, standing for 'Imperial War Museums'.
