Camp Foxley tells the history of the military camp built in the
grounds of Foxley Manor House, Herefordshire, from the outbreak of
the Second World War until the late 1960s when it was demolished.
During the war the camp saw the arrival and departure of several
Canadian and American military units. From 1944 to 1945 two
American hospitals based there received casualties from the
European Theatre of Operations. After the war the camp was used to
house Polish refugees who were later joined by homeless English
families. In the late 1960s the temporary camp, which had been
built only to last for the duration of the war, was finally closed
and the last remaining occupants were found homes in Hereford. The
book tells of the day to day activities on the base, using accounts
and previously unpublished photos from those involved. It also
deals with the impact that the occupants had on the surrounding
area of Herefordshire.
