August 2010 - We are currently researching the U.S. hospitals (76th General Hospital and 135th General Hospital) based at Barons Cross in Leominster, Herefordshire, with a view to writing a book.

We would like to contact anyone who has memories or photos of the American hospital camp or the people who served there or were treated there. We would also like to contact anyone who served at the camp or has a relative who served at the camp. We are interested in learning about the day to day running of the hospital and also about the effect that the servicemen and women who worked at the camp and the patients had on the surrounding area of Leominster.

We are currently researching books on U.S. hospitals in the Malvern area, England, during WW11. We would like to contact any staff or patients who spent time at any of the following sites:

• Merebrook: 53rd General Hospital

• Wood Farm; 55th General Hospital

• Brickbarns: 96th General Hospital, 231st Station Hospital.(1945)

• Blackmore Park: 93rd General Hospital, 155th General Hospital, 90th General Hospital, 19th General Hospital (1944-1945) - Book out now - click the link for more information!

We would also like to contact local people who remember the Americans and include their memories.

We are also looking for an original wartime copy of the history of the 53rd General Hospital. The book was published at the end of the war and presented to the members of the unit as a keepsake of there time spent there.
