The Crimps Traditional Cache

This is another local cache I have put down to remember the historical places in Ellesmere, 

this being The Crimps / Oteley. 

This is a medium sized container in a zip lock bag.

 The Crimps and Oteley were used in the wwI and wwII  as a military hospital.

my great auntie use to tell me of her job driving the American soldiers and officers around the mere woods to oteley.

its hard to imagine these woods and fields full of the U.S. army. 

The local children use to ask the Americans for chewing gum as it wasn't available here at the time so the soldiers had a good raport

with the locals. Some even having families here.

Oteley Park, Ellesmere WWI and WWII Military Hospital, US 16th? General Hospital (1,084 beds). Incorrectly referenced in TNA, as Otley, Yorkshire
