Diane writes .....My father was station with the 756th Railway Shop Battalion  - here is an article I found on him. Not sure when he actually arrived in London. He met my mother there and they were married Aug. 22, 1944. He met my mother while stationed near London. 
Their first date was in the underground, her sister was dating his friend
My father was station @ Hainault 756th Railway HQ Company Essex, after looking at their marriage certificate, this is listed on it.
