Good day to you all,My Grandad worked at Burtonwood U.S.A.B. Dave,on the odd occasion, he would take me with him to get his wages etc.but I had to stay at the gatelodge.I'm sure that every G.I.that came through that gatehouse gave me something,or it seamed like it at the time.Chewing gum,toffee bars and the comics you mentioned.At the time I was into the Dandy and Beno, and the US ones were a bit big for me but they were well read by the family. I think anyone who worked at the camp did well out of the Americans because they new we were on rations.At the end, a lot of the locals were sad to see them go.Momac, do you remember May Allsol who lived next door to your Gram and Grand, marring a GI and moving to the states?
