I was living in Cavendish Avenue in Cambridge and remember the army being billeted in a couple of local houses. Their vehicles were hidden under the local elm trees which lined the Avenue.
They weren't there for very long, and I can only asume it was the preparations for D-Day.
On another occasion, in May 1945, I went to Norfolk on a Cub camp. On the way back we got to the station at Cambridge and were told the war had ended.
