Canadians Regiments In Worthing WW2
« on: Thursday 08 October 09 22:00 UTC (UK) »
Hi
I run a website www.canadianrootsuk.org
What we do is to help children of Canadian soldiers born during WW2 find their fathers.
Also  Canadian fathers/families trace children born in the UK.

I need to know what Canadian Regiments were stationed in the Worthing area,  dates, and in which roads they were billeted.

I have now been asked to write a book about the Canadians stationed in Worthing and West Sussex during WW2. So I have asked a friend to help. We are appealing for help. Particularly interested to hear from any Canadian Veterans who were stationed in the area. Also anyone who was in the Home Guard and came in contact with the Canadians. In fact anyone who has memories relating to the Canadians stationed in West Sussex during World War Two and any photographs etc.     Please contact me via the website above, thak you.

Thank you
Chris

Hi
The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada were billeted at the sea-end of Heene Road if my memory serves me right during their stay in Worthing.
Nothing else of any portent I'm afraid.

The Canadians destroyed the old clock tower in Angmering Park Estate - used it for target practice.
