Hello,
I am looking to for information too on Canadian soldiers stationed aound this area, at Cuckmere Haven during World War 2. My father served in special section of the English home guard and did his training with th em.He became personal friends with many of them.Some time around 1940 he witnessed some Canadian soldiers killed by ME110s.He never forgot this incident and used to lay poppies in one of the bomb craters on Rememberance Day..He died in 2004. Over the years he had become friends with a family int the adjacent Coastguard cottages and they instigated a memorial to these Canadians on this spot.It was dedicated 2 weeks ago.It also mentions my Dad in relation to a quote by him on the incident. However last weekend a local newspaper report questioned its validity.I am therefore trying to find more information. Any help would be appreicated.Thanks.
