Lamphey Court
Lamphey Court was requisitioned by the RAF during the last war. From October 1943 until January 1944 when they were transferred to Fishguard, Companies I and K of the 110th Infantry, 28th US Infantry Division were stationed at a site to the rear and to the left of, Lamphey Court.
It was known to the Americans as ‘Lamphey Camp’. Signatures and brief messages carved by the US troops were plainly visible until comparatively recent years on a very large and ancient tree located just right of the entrance to Lamphey Court. During the Americans’ time in Lamphey, the ovens at the village bakery were used every day to roast the meat for the men’s rations. The officer of the day would invariably spear each joint with a bayonet to ensure that it was properly cooked. The 110th’s regimental HQ at the time were at Llanion Barracks.
