9th
Infantry Division — World
War II — Alresford and
Winchester, England
The
Winchester Guildhall
Soldiers who
were billetted in Alresford and its
environs would occasionally take liberty
passes to nearby Winchester and London.
Pictured here is the Winchester Guildhall,
which hosts changing exhibitions of
sculpture, ceramics and modern works
of art. The Guildhall was pictured
in Joseph B. Mittelman's Eight
Stars to Victory: A History of the
Veteran Ninth U.S. Infantry Division,
but not named.
In Eight Stars to Victory,
the Guildhall's clock shows 2:10 p.m.
or 14:10 hours in military time. When
I took this photo, oddly the clock
was displaying 2:20 p.m. or 14:20
hours.
