My grandfather William Thompson was the station sergeant at Markethill RUC station during the WW2.

My Mum lived at the RUC station during the war, and remembers things like

• American GIs at Gosford.
• German PoWs at Gosford – and also at Markethill RUC station.
• Sounding the air raid siren at Markethill.

She remembers that the GIs brought bananas, oranges and chocolate for the first time in many years.

• PoWs in Gosford – I think the foundations of the PoW huts are still there, except the model chapel built by Italian PoWs seems to have disappeared from the main car park.
