WW2 Canadians Killed in Accidents
During WW2 my grandparents befriended a young Canadian who was stationed for a while in Eastbourne. After he’d left the town, they heard he’d died somewhere in the UK – possibly in an accident during training or sports. All I know is that his first name was Lawrence (Laurence?) and that the death must have occurred before 7 March 1943. This was when their house was bombed and all the correspondence lost.
Can someone pse tell me if there’s a list of such deaths which I can consult – perhaps on line? If not, how might I go about tracing him and establishing the name of his unit? I’m assuming he would have been buried in the UK – but would this have been in a civilian or military cemetery?
Comments appreciated.
