This tradgedy took place in the grounds that housed the 228th American Hospital in Sherborne, Dorset, UK. During my visit to Sherborne for research purposes I met Mrs Jean Treasure who was employed as a typist in the hospital HQ as a young girl. She was also present on that fateful day. Does your father-in-law remember the hospital and was he involved in the building of the road from the port of Weymouth prior to and for D-Day? As a young airman I hitchiked many times over that road to see my wife in the 1950s.
