In June and July 2004 American veterans of the 307th Airborne Engineers, the 82nd Airborne Division, visited Burbage. For four months before the D-day landings in 1944, the American troops had been billeted in the former hosiery factory opposite the Sycamores Public House. As part of the visit, veteran Frank Miale unveiled this plaque in memory of the American troops billeted in Burbage who lost their lives in World War II.
