Overview-
On 9 Dec. 1943 the men of the United States 82nd Airborne Division set foot on Northern Irish soil. By the end of the day 12,000 had disembarked from ships. By March the next year, they had all moved on again. John McCann looks at this short stay in NI and their service in other countries via the reminiscences of men who served.
