Painswick Gloucestershire in the 2nd world war

This rather ordinary field at the end of Butt Green in Painswick, Gloucestershire was during the 2nd world war, covered with tents pitched by the U.S. Army . My Mum as a small child remembers all the tents and hanging about by the fence chatting to the guys, with her friends and siblings and being given rare treats such as oranges and chocolate.
Apparently there was a separate section for black people - (imagine that!) and when out marching they used to leave stuff on the walls and window ledges for the folk in the village.
You couldn't imagine what a hive of activity it must have been, and what changes they caused in the village, and that 70 years on it still remains a field at the end of Butt Green
