Prior to D-day, the headquarters of 1st US Army was in Bristol, obviously a good location given that the US invasion forces were based mainly in the westof England.

I am attempting to do some research on the subject and I would be grateful for any information about either this Army HQ prior to the invasion, or everyday life in Bristol during the same period.

Thanks.
