The memorial commemorates those of the USAAF 437th Troop Carrier Group who transported troops of the US 82nd Airborne Division into France from Ramsbury on D-Day. In September 1944 units of the US 101st Airborne Division were again transported from here by the 437th TCG into Holland, as part of Operation Market Garden.
