"The Friendly Invasion of Leominster" relates the activities of a
number of American units based in Leominster during World War II.
During its history the Herefordshire market town had been no
stranger to invasions from across the Welsh border, but in 1943 it
was to encounter an incursion of another type. The invasion of U.S.
soldiers was a friendly one, although not all of Leominster's
residents recognised it as such at the time. On the outskirts of
Leominster, Barons Cross became home to the doctors and nurses of
the 76th and 135th U.S. Army General Hospitals and patients from
the hostilities on the Continent. In the build up to D. Day,
American units occupied camps in the grounds of Berrington Hall and
in the town. Some of these units, such as the 5th Ranger Battalion
and the 90th Infantry Division were to play a major part in the D.
Day landings. Others, such as the 7th Armored Division and the
736th Field Artillery Battalion landed after D. Day and took part
in the liberation of France. This book describes each unit's time
in Leominster, using eyewitness accounts and photographs, and then
follows the unit across the English Channel and through Europe.

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and previously unpublished photos from those involved.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.
Army Force Station 522, at Beakes Road, Smethwick, Staffordshire,
was created on 25th August 1943 in order to meet the increasing
demands of the United States Army Air Force in the European Theatre
of Operations. Situated at least 50 miles from the nearest USA Air
Force base, its Midlands location was appropriate for the movement
of equipment throughout the country. Also, its distance from the
airfields gave the depot a degree of security and it was not bombed
during its American occupation. The base was in use until October
1945 as a storage, supply, and repair depot for Air Force
equipment. It was responsible for supplying all the radio and radar
equipment for the American air bases around the country. After
D-Day a contingent of men from Smethwick was sent to the continent
where they carried out similar duties. This title chronicles the
day-to-day running of USAAF Station 522, and recounts the
experiences of the men of the 879th, 892nd and 908th Signal Depot
Companies that were based there. It also looks at the sociological
effects that the American unit had on the locality of Smethwick and
Bearwood, one of these being the numerous Anglo-American weddings.
Covering the proceedings of the 2000 International Conference on
Hydroinformatics, this volume addresses a variety of technological
issues relating to all aspects of water management. It covers data
aquisition and management; data mining; decision support;
experience with modelling; ecology and water quality; forecasting;
genetic algorithms; geographic information systems; Internet;
integration of technologies; nonlinear analysis; numerical engines;
neural networks; software tools; and uncertainty analysis.
