Station list for US Army in UK during war?

All,

Does anyone have a station list for US Army stations (not Air) in the UK circa 1943-44?

I’m trying to identify Station-112 in Wales. It was used by the 2nd Infantry Division just prior to embarkation for Normandy. But more station numbers will undoubtedly come up, as the unit was previously in Northern Ireland.

Thank you.
J

Sorry, but that is curious, what is your reference for it. The U.S. Army Ground Forces units in the ETOUSA did not number its locations in its Station List, instead they were given by place name and map reference. "Station 112" would be a USAAF - United States Army Air Force Station - since they were numbered. 112 was Bovingdon in Hertfordshire.

It appears to be from the US Army Institute of History-
"QWNED, SPONSORED J/;’ AND LEASED FACILITIES, 31 DECEMBER 1945" by the Office of Chief of Engineers. It's vast, and might be purely stateside though.

 

Yes, it is available as a PDF from the CDSG. https://cdsg.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/CDSG/CDSG WEBSITE UPDATES/CDSG Downloads/ArmyFacility45.pdf

However, there is no "Station-112 in Wales" listed there that I can find.

 

No worries, was worth a try.

 

There were none at Dropmore, that was only the location of two 30th Inf Div units on 1 June. Given there were about 752 "Colored" units in the ETOUSA, not including those assigned to the USAAF, as of 1 June 1944, it would be hard to pinpoint who it might be without more information. The area around Dropmore, the far southeastern corner of Buckinghamshire, was part of District VIII of the Western Base Section of SOS, ETOUSA. Sorry.

 

What day are you looking for? The ETOUSA Station Lists are available for February through August (IIRC) 1944 and possibly other months. Any more details of the story would help.

It sounds like you described a Sausage Camp, which were the pre-embarkation camps.
