History note
MIlton Cook was a Military Policeman with 1257th MP company at Yarnfield, Stone, Staffordshire at an Eighth Air Force replacement depot (i.e. a base where new arrivals awaited allocation to BG and FG and also where troops returning to USA were processed).
Has written an autobiography (held on file) sub-titled 'a nonplussed soldiers mundane exploits in WW2'! He seems to have spent most of his time either guarding the depot or escorting AWOL GIs across England.
