'They Also Serve Who Stand And Wait' tells
the story of the U.S. Replacement Depot at Pheasey Farms Estate in Great Barr,
Birmingham during World War II. Part of the half-built housing estate was
requisitioned by the British forces at the outbreak of the war and in 1942 the
first group of American soldiers moved in. The book is a fascinating insight
into the day to day activity on the base, with many moving accounts from those
involved, and also deals with the impact that the American soldiers had on the surrounding
area of Walsall and Birmingham.
