From December 16, 1943 to June 1944 the 3rd Battalion 28th Infantry were based at Crom Castle, but due to the secrecy of the preparations for D-Day very little was known about their activities at the time. At one point it was estimated that up to one quarter of Fermanagh’s population was made up of American servicemen and at Crom there were 800 servicemen stationed there at any time.
