This talk explores the long-overlooked history of this ‘first friendly invasion’. It will reveal where in World War I Britain the US military was based, it will uncover the experiences of the invading doughboys, and it will explore how they were received by local communities across the land. The talk will conclude by considering some of the memorials and monuments left by this invasion and which can be found from the western isles of Scotland to the south coast of England.
