Blackmore Park in
World War Two tells the history of the two hospital sites built at Blackmore
Park in 1943 and used by American hospital units until September 1945.
The two sites were first occupied by the 19th and 65th General Hospitals.
The 19th was replaced in May 1944 by the 93rd General Hospital and the
65th was replaced first by the 90th General Hospital in March 1944 and
then by the 155th General Hospital in July of that year. The 19th and
90th moved their operations to the continent on leaving Malvern and
set up hospitals in France.
This book tells of the day to day activities on the base using accounts
and previously unpublished photos from those involved. It touches on
the work of the other three American hospital sites in the area and
it also looks at the impact that the occupants of these camps, both
patients and medical staff, had on the surrounding area of Worcestershire
through the memories of those that were there at the time.
