American Units at Chiseldon Camp, Wiltshire.

I thought this may come in useful for our US members researching these units or people who served in them.

Hi
Do you know if any US Marines were stationed in or around wiltshire in 1942-1944?
Thanks

 

Owen,

The Story of Chiseldon Camp (Part 2): 1922 -1962 does not seem to be available in the US. Do you know a UK source for purchasing it?

 

No sorry, it was a local produced book a few years back .
All I can think of is the little museum in the village may have a copy left.
In your thread @RichTO90 said 112 Inf Regt was actually based at Ramsbury a few miles away.
