Debach, pronounced deb-itch, is a small village which during WW2 had an American airbase with the 493rd Bomb Group (Heavy) within its bounds. A B17 Flying Fortress is prominently featured on the sign along with a boat being built, which would suggest that at sometime in the past the parish was connected to the sea by the River Deben. A small plaque to the Airbase is at the foot of the sign and can be viewed here > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1029747
