NOTTINGHAM EVENING POST
June 13, 1978

Boys of The 508th Are Back

A lengthy article featured two men of the 508th, Fred Hall and Jack Bailey.  Both married English girls and both remained in Nottingham after he war.

Fred, known as "Yank" locally, and his wife Doris were reported to be living in Cinder Hill just a couple of miles north of Wollaton Park.

Jack Bailey wandered into the While Hose Inn out of curiosity just because his parents lived on White Horse Street back home. He met and later married Vivien, the publican's daughter.  Following the war Jack and Vivian took over the operation of the pub.
