Footprints in the Air "Maybe your dad worked for the CIA, KGB, military intelligence or something along those lines. In searching the web there are sites for those who grew up in the military or similar, but for people like us there seems to be nothing. Most people don't even know we exist. This website is an attempt to address that."

From 1942, Bushy Park became the site of a large U.S. base called Camp Griffiss, headquarters to a number of the Allied departments. General Dwight Eisenhower was averse to working in the centre of London during the Second World War. He decided instead to make Bushy Park the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) centre for planning Operation Overlord, the 1944 D-Day. (Royal Parks, Bushy Park & Bushy Park's History [U.K. Gov.]) "Memories of Wartime" by Mary G. Bateman ("..A short while later our Headquarters moved to a camp in Bushy Park near to Hampton Court Palace..") [Page 2.] In 1945 Bushy Park was converted into SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces) which controlled the Normandy invasion; now commemorated by a small plaque at the north end.
