A cast bronze plaque marking the Hut Camp, stop no.5 on the town Heritage Trail - "This was once the home to Hut Camp, later known as Llanion Barracks. Originally these barracks, which could house anything up to 1000 men, were built in only six weeks! Infantry regiments from all over the country have occupied these barracks. The red-bricked barracks we see standing today were built later in 1906. During the Second World War, American GIs of the 110th US Infantry Regiment were based here and this led to a visit from the Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight D. Eisenhower who arrived here in at Llanion in 1944." (https://www.robertjakes.co.uk/enl_RP_PD_trail.htm) There are 39 plaques in all on the trail.
