We are developing a website site which will be the basis of a book which we plan to sell with all the profits going to a Service Charity. The title will be something like: The wartime contribution of Deddington, Clifton and Hempton. Originally we had envisaged it to be simply about the War Memorial but we think that we should recognise all those that served in all the uniformed services. I do need your help and I hope that you will understand if I raise a series of related questions over the next few weeks. My first is to ask for the names of any Army units that were stationed in the vicinity. Strangely, the only one I know is the 396 US Artillery who were based in Banbury and flew their spotter aircraft from Wykham Hill but I have been told that there were others, mainly British in Deddington and Adderbury. Any info on or off list would be greatly appreciated. Do have a look at our progress so far http://www.deddington.org.uk/history/worldwars Thank you Michael Allbrook
