File:US Forces in Northern Ireland during WW2 (retouched).jpg

Summary

Description	During the Second World War, units of the United States Army were quartered near the historic country house "Mount Panther" between the villages of Dundrum and Clough in County Down, Northern Ireland. The following units were stationed here: 2nd Battalion of the 1st Armored Association of 1st Armored Division, the 13th Infantry unit of the 8th Infantry Division and the 21st Field Artillery Battalion of the 5th Division. In addition companies B and C from the 818th Tank Destroyer Battalion, were quartered at Mount Panther between November 1943 and February 1944. The picture shows the camp of the 21st Field Artillery on March 10, 1944. Note the laundry that hangs on the fence to dry. Today the site of the so-called Nissen huts made of corrugated iron after the Canadian engineer and officer Peter Norman Nissen in the photograph is buried beneath the A2 road, with only few sections of concrete beside it giving any clue to the camps existence.
