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
