Hi Mark:
Thanks for your reply, I have been searching around message boards and even posted a message in a Sussex newspaper in June looking for help and or answers regarding my dad's war years. I had quite a response to the newspaper ad, people have been really wonderful sharing their wartime experiences with me. Many knew of my dad's regiment, because of the Dieppes raid, but couldn't give any specific information relating to my dad.
My dad enlisted in 1941 with the Regiment de Chateauguay, Farnham, Quebec. I believe that he transferred to the FMR just before he sailed to UK on 29-9-42.
His regimental number was D 51353. His POW number was 70754.
Thanks again for replying and I look forward to hearing from you again.
Cheers...Dianne
