Billingshurst, West Sussex
I received the following in email this morning, and was wondering off-hand whether any of you chaps can answer him? I can only presume that like most other establishments used by the Canadians, this one saw numerous formations pass through, but the fact that this was Armoured Corps might help.
Thanks..... Quote:

A large area of West Sussex near to Billingshurst had Canadian Army units camped there. I once had to stop for mechanical repairs at nearby Wisborough Green, with my 1941 military BSA motorcycle. The village green had the Canadian flag flying at the time and a lady there, told me that the Canadian HQ had been in the village during the war.
