Summary

Description
Deutsch: Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren Einheiten der Armee der Vereinigten Staaten in der Nähe des historischen Landhauses „Mount Panther“ zwischen den Dörfern Dundrum und Clough in der Grafschaft Down in Nordirland einquartiert. Die folgenden Einheiten waren hier stationiert: Das 2. Bataillon des 1. Panzerverband der 1. Panzerdivision, die 13. Infanterieeinheit der 8. Infanteriedivision und das 21. Feldartilleriebataillon der 5. Division. Außerdem waren hier zwischen November 1943 und Februar 1944 die Kompanien B und C vom 818. Panzerjägerbataillon Panther untergebracht. Das Bild zeigt das Lager der 21. Feldartillerie am 10. März 1944. Beachten Sie die Wäsche, die zu Trocknen auf dem Zaun hängt. Dieses Bataillon bediente eine M1 Haubitze mit einem Kaliber von 155 Milimeter. Heute liegt der Standort der nach dem kanadischen Ingenieur und Offizier Peter Norman Nissen sogenannten Nissenhütten (engl. Nissen hut) aus Wellblech unter der Fernverkehrsstraße A2 begraben und nur wenige Betonteile geben Hinweise auf die Existenz des Lagers.
English: During the Second World War, units of the United States Army were quartered near the historic country house "Mount Panther" between the villages of Dundrum and Clough in County Down, Northern Ireland. The following units were stationed here: 2nd Battalion of the 1st Armored Association of 1st Armored Division, the 13th Infantry unit of the 8th Infantry Division and the 21st Field Artillery Battalion of the 5th Division. In addition companies B and C from the 818th Tank Destroyer Battalion, were quartered at Mount Panther between November 1943 and February 1944. The picture shows the camp of the 21st Field Artillery on March 10, 1944. Note the laundry that hangs on the fence to dry. Today the site of the so-called Nissen huts made of corrugated iron after the Canadian engineer and officer Peter Norman Nissen in the photograph is buried beneath the A2 road, with only few sections of concrete beside it giving any clue to the camps existence.
Français : Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, des unités de l'armée des États-Unis ont été cantonnées près du manoir historique « Mount Panther », entre les villages de Dundrum et Clough, dans le comté de Down, en Irlande du Nord. Les unités suivantes étaient stationnées ici: 2e bataillon de la 1re association blindée de la 1re division blindée, 13e unité d'infanterie de la 8e division d'infanterie et 21e bataillon d'artillerie de campagne de la 5e division. De plus, les compagnies B et C du 818ème bataillon de chasseurs de chars ont été cantonnées à Mount Panther entre novembre 1943 et février 1944. La photo montre le camp de la 21e artillerie de campagne le 10 mars 1944. Notez le linge qui pend sur la clôture pour sécher. Aujourd'hui, l'emplacement de la fonderie ondulée est enterré sous l'autoroute A2 et seules quelques pièces en béton indiquent l'existence de l'entrepôt. Aujourd'hui, le site des huttes en tôle ondulée dites cabanes Nissen (anglais Nissen hut) d'après l'ingénieur et officier canadien Peter Norman Nissen est enfoui sous la route A2. Seules quelques sections de béton à côté donnent une indication sur l'existence des camps.
