All I know is that it was a 'Quartermaster Truck Company' and I found this out by writing to the U.S Army. Well it was 70 years ago. I didn't know a school had been built on the site though ![]() ![]() |

I don't know about Coventry but my mum told me about cycling over to Leamington with girl friends to dances with the GI's and that they always went in small groups who promised to stay together, one didn't and ended up with some nylons and a bar of chocolate!!!! |
