Informations supplémentaires

On 5 March 1944 General Eisenhower moved SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces) from Grosvenor Square in London to Camp Griffiss, a large US base in Bushy Park. From here he planned Operation Overlord, the code name of the D-Day landings in Normandy. On 2 June 1944 the advance headquarters moved to Portsmouth and the landings took place on 6 June. The plaque marks the position of Eisenhower's office. He is said to have relaxed by sketching the pine trees that he could see from his office window. The final buildings of Camp Griffiss were removed in 1963 but there are still signs of the camp, including brackets in trees that held telephone wires.
