Canadians remaining in UK after WW2.
« on: Thursday 24 August 23 13:43 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information about families of Canadian veterans. My father was in 14th field company, Royal Canadian Engineers. He married my English mother in 1943. There were 40,000 war brides who went to Canada but there is little info. about the approx. 20,000 that remained in the UK. Dad was a member of the Canadian Veterans Assoc. UK. At least 17 meeting locations? I have documentation that the UK govt. paid for him to take a 2 year business course. Billy Butlins Trust offered support? If my memory is correct, Canadian veterans in the UK did not receive War Allowance from Canada until the 60's. How much was that allowance that arrived so late. Any information would help.
