Searching for details about the Canadian base at Eastbourne

[David Dunlop]

Hello Phil.

Interesting topic. It is my understanding a good portion of the Eastbourne area was evacuated during the war due to the extensive German bombing of the area. A large number of Canadian Troops were stationed there leading up to D-Day, but they may not necessarily have been in a single 'Camp' location. Rather, I think they may have been billeted throughout the area.

You might want to try contacting the Eastbourne Local History Society with the information about your Dad that you have and they might be able to help.

Good luck and keep us posted.
