These are truly excellent overlays. Its a cheeky "ask" but do you have one for Tyntesfield by any chance?

Thank you again for this excellent research

Does anyone here know of a US army hospital, which was near or in Carmarthen? I've come across some US obliques which suggest as such.

Glangwili Hospital perhaps?

I really don't have a name unfortunately, just area and US hospital, site looks pretty temporary with Nissens and tents.

Glangwili Hospital perhaps?

This site makes reference to Glangwili being built on the site of the American hospital.

Thanks Paul and Ian, the site of the original US hospital is definitely at, and built over by the current Glangwili hospital.
