Hi Pam;

Have you been to or in contact with The National Archives, Kew. File: WO 199 (War Office: Home Forces: Military Headquarters Papers, Second World War) should shed some light on your questions. The Canadian Army Location Statements should be contained within this file, example:

- WO 199/576 - Canadian Army: Employment and accommodation - Covering dates: Jul 1940 - Mar 1942
- WO 199/577 - Canadian Army: Employment and accommodation - Covering dates: Apr 1942 - Dec 1943

Also, a units War Diary will contain its location, Canadian Army unit War Diaries (or for those units you quoted in your earlier post regarding "this is the information so far - Canadian Regiments stationed in Worthing Area") can be found at The National Archives, Kew, under File: WO 179 (War Office: Canadian, South African, New Zealand and Indian (United Kingdom) Forces (Dominion Forces): War Diaries, Second World War).

Hope this helps.

Cheers
