The Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy just one year earlier.

Do we know if there were many others in the hospital at that time? It must be getting rather quiet there.

I don’t know what the hospital’s patient population was; however, I suspect that it was low and growing increasingly so. I don’t know how the 392nd’saircraft were redeployed to the U.S., but we have already seen Ken’s combat crew leave for the States. In the closing of the base, there would have been little need for combat crews, and I would guess that they and their command structure would have been among the first to go. That would have left Ken the odd man out. I wonder if he has been somewhat forgotten in the rush to shut down the base and, perhaps, see London one last time.

It would be nice for him to have one last ‘Tour’ of London before his final departure. It’s an interesting point, I wonder how many others were in similar situations as based closed and units departed!

Can you remind me what his injury was that caused him to remain behind?

On May 20, one day back from flak leave, he was admitted to the base hospital with an elevated temperature and pain in his groin.

I remember he had an infection, but I wondered if it was sustained from.
