Sorry Karmen, you've misread my last reply.

Eddie was NOT part of Ex SPARTAN. The 'Greek Brigade' supplemented the available troops of 1st Canadian Infantry Division whom assumed the operational responsibilities on the coast of Sussex, while the troops that normally would have been in those positions took part in Ex SPARTAN.

Cheers

In essense then, Uncle Ed was part of a group that took over and filled in doing the usual duties of the guys who went off on the SPARTAN exercise ... yes?

Did I interpret that correctly this time?
