Seaford
Hi Mike:
I am 82 years old and my memory is failing but, in the spring of 1942 a comando unit was formed to take out the German radio towers north of Dieppe. I believe there were elements of the first Canadian Brigade. I was one of two men, along with a Major Armstrong from the 48th as a headquarters part of this unit. We were stationed at Seaford up on a hill in a little English cottage. We did river crossings in a small creek or riverbed, I can't remember, and did house to house clearing exercises in Eastbourne. We were stationed under canvas and were called back to our units before the raid on Dieppe went forward. If you want more information please e-mail me and remember my age and my memory. My serial number was B 73323.
