Canadians in & around Eastbourne (Sussex) in WW2

[Michael Ockenden]

Thanks for the information, Norm.

I'm now less sure about the location of your billet. The Cuckmere is a small river but even at low tide, it's hard to think that someone could expect to leap across. Perhaps you were further upstream. The bridge at Exeat would have been guarded and perhaps made ready for detonation ... but it's on such an important route, I can hardly think it would have been removed altogether.

Do remember if your destination on that day was Seaford? If so, your billet would have been on the easterly bank.

I'll get in touch by e-mail.

Regards

Mike
