Canadians in & around Eastbourne (Sussex) in WW2

[stuartmclean]

Mike,

In my efforts to track down my grandfather (Thomas Wright McLean) it might be of use to you to know that he was stationed in Winchelsea (East Sussex) during WWII.

As far as I know he was a member of the Royal Regiment of Canada (Infantry Corps), 2nd Canadian Division. He served as a medico and fought in the Dieppe raid in 1942, for which he received the military medal. I think he was in the 55th battalion.

I believe, from what my grandmother tells me, that he was also staioned at Eastbourne and Lewes during this time.

If you have any information that might help me with my search it would be gratefully appreciated.

regards
Stuart
