Default 2nd Cdn LAA Regt

Thank you to everyone who has come forward with information.

The file at :

www.dnd.ca/hr/dhh/Downloads/cmhq/cmhq106.pdf

is especially helpful, as Eastbourne is mentioned several times.

It’s interesting to compare Canadian claims with what I know happened on the ground. German records have also been researched, and I recommend the recent book: Luftwaffe Fighter Bombers over Britain - the Tip & Run Campaign 1942-43 by Chris Goss with Peter Cornwell and Bernd Rauchbach. It’s published by Crécy (www.crecy.co.uk) -. ISBN 0 947554 97 1.

If anyone catches sight of "A Richer Dust: Family, Memory and the Second World War" by Robert Calder, which has just come out in Canada, I’d be grateful if they could scan the index for any references to 2 Cdn LAA Regt’s presence in Eastbourne.

Mike
