Hi all - I'm looking for links to anybody who may know of, or may have been stationed at the 9th USAAF HQ at Sunninghill Park, Berkshire during WW2, and who may be able to help confirm (amongst a host of other queries!) the location of a building known locally as the 'American Hospital'.

any help appreciated - thanks.

Have a gander here (http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/showthread.php?2071-US-Hospitals-in-the-UK-%28AAF-Use%29) and post a question. There are one or two AiX members with phenomenal knowledge of wartime US hospitals and and other miscellaneous sites.

You may well find something here (http://med-dept.com/unit_histories/), but their search facility's not working. So it might be quite a trawl.
