I am trying to find information on a temporary American war hospital that was constructed by the 'seabees' during the 1940's in Milford Haven, West Wales, UK.

My property has been built on the site where we believe the hospital was erected in 'Nissan huts'. The property we live in was built on that area and I am very interested to find out more of the history of it. I would be very grateful if you could let me know anything you know about it and indeed if there is any way of contacting anyone who would have served in it.

Apparently, the hospital was built to cope with the expected 1200 casualties of the Normandy invasion but losses were not as great as feared and only 120 casualties attended the hospital.

I would be most grateful if you would be so kind as to let me know anything you can about this era or if you could point me in the direction of someone who could? Really am hoping to hear from someone who served or attended it or knows someone who did!! Confused Confused
