The 29th Infantry Division's first headquarters near Willshire, England is an old cavalry camp and the location where the 29th Ranger Battalion was formed. Sixty years later just a few of the buildings where Soldiers lived during World War II remain as the post today undergoes modernization to meet today's British military needs.
