Jeff;

You stated that you’re interested in the time frame of August 1942, for Canadian units at Slough. The list, which you have posted, is totally unrelated. The list you’ve posted, is that of the “Corps Troops” of the II Canadian Corps, which didn’t come into being until approximately 14 January 1943. Although Headquarters, II Canadian Corps was located at Cobham, Surrey, from February to October 1943 (approximately 23.80 miles (38 kilometres) from Slough), many of the units you have listed, did not come into being until the beginning of 1943, itself, and onwards.

Cheers
