I have just joined this mailing group today, and have a question that has
been burning...... I am hoping that someone might be able to assist. I have been
researching the history of the West Novas from 39-47.... and came across a
rather odd incident while reviewing the casualty lists. The West Novas were
based in Aldershot from 1939 until June 1943 when embarking on the Operation
Husky campaign, however there were an unusually high amount of casualties listed
on January 6th 1942 while stationed in Aldershot. If someone might be able to
tell me what might have occurred that day I will indebted to you. I have been
searching for answers about this issue and have not come up with anything.
Thanks
Derek Shanks
