Could anyone please direct me to the any of the following; Mustering and training facilities, POW camps, equipment testing areas, munition logistics, Notts based army units, media coverage in local papers, all associated to D-Day. It would be extremely useful if anyone had any information on the name/numbers of Notts based army units that took training in Nottinghamshire in preparation for D-Day. Thanks! Hannah

Suggest that you edit your Title to D Day training in Nottinghamshire or similar.
