He is interested in any information we can provide whether on permanent or temporary sites such as LAA sites, Home Guard units, troops stationed in the area, including US forces etc. etc. 

If you have any information you can provide, or need more clarity on the type of material required, please contact the Society and we will put you in touch with the researcher.

Please remember that the cost is £10 for an annual subscription and should be paid at the next meeting if you did not renew or join on 7th January.
