Re: First and Second World War - Army Camps in England
Good evening, can you tell me where o can find more information on the Camp in Bampton, Devon? I am putting together a memorial exhibition for the D-day landing anniversary in June for the Bampton Heritage Centre and would love to feature the US troops that appear to be staying in the camp here before going off to take part in the invasion if I can find out more.
Thanks
Rachel
