ANGLO-American amity, forged in the heat of war, was being celebrated in Malvern 50 years ago.
A plaque was unveiled in the Winter Gardens commemorating the seven US hospitals sited in and around Malvern during the Second World War.
Brigadier-General Jack W Wood (USAF), the senior military and air attache of the US Embassy, journeyed to Malvern to perform the unveiling.
And Brig-Gen Wood replied: "If we can keep this friendship and impress it upon new generations, there is no subversive agent that can drive a wedge between our two countries."
