Hi Everyone,

I've hit a brick wall in my search for my natural father.

Does anyone know if The Wiltshire Regiment was at West Down Camp at Tilshead in September 1951?

If not, any idea which regiments, companies or units WERE there at that time?

Roux,

Most of the Wiltshires were in Korea in 1951.

You could try their forum at www.thewardrobe.org.uk

Saw this on the Canadian Roots website though!

Trevor James Phillips is looking for his father (name unknown) a Canadian who was stationed at West Down Camp, Tilshead, Wiltshire, England. in September 1951. Trevor doesn't know much about his father apart that he was in a Canadian Parachute Regiment.  Servicemen from the Canadian Parachute Regiment attended dances at a hall above a garage next to the Wheat Sheaf public house in West Lavington, Wiltshire. Trevor's mother Audrey Phillips, who lived close at a village called Little Cheverell also went to these dances.
