FWIW I also regularly ride/run around Greenham Common, which is only a mile from home, and was the old US base where they had about two thirds of the US nuclear weapons in the UK.

I remember the "laundry service" part where the soldier went to pick up his stuff and was asked to take the laundry of the other service men that died.

You've made me want to watch the series (and the Pacific War one) all over again.
