WW2 Canadian Troops in Southern England
I would be very interested to hear from anyone with information about the Canadian troops stationed in Tylehurst Farm (then owned by Colonel Charles Needham, Life Guards), near Forest Row, Sussex, UK during the Second World War (particularly those who were there around Christmas time in 1943).
Perhaps you know the Gatton family… Edgar James (Joe) Gatton, Gertrude Mabel Gatton (nee Pratt), Eileen Gatton? The head gardener at the time was called Mr. Kneller. Other people in the area at that time are the Hambro children (Jocelyn Hambro, Anthony Hambro, Simon Hambro); Mr. Moses Pannett (Kenchington Stores); the Clark and Simmond family at South Park Cottages and the Spring family at Mudbrooks Farm.
I believe that the main regiment stationed in Forest Row at that time was the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC), whilst The Queen's Canadian Own Rifle Brigade were close by in Ashdown Forest and Pippingford Park.
If anyone has any information then please contact me.

We are desperately looking for Liz Somers-Smith. We served in the WRAF at HQBFG Rheindahlen together in the early sixties. On leaving the WRAF she went to Australia, we last heard from her when she visited us in 1975. We know she was in Alice Springs in 1973. She has a twin sister and we know they lived in East Grinstead. Perhaps her family could help us, we have tried everything we can think of to find her. Her friends in America and Australia are also looking for her. veekreed@aol.com

I went to the EG Grammar School.
During the latter war years until 1947 and would dearly love to hear news of my old classmates and others from those days. My name is David Huxley and I finished up in 5B, We were quite a small class after the war as many of my contemporaries had moved back to London. I would like to hear of/from Bill Bax (father was projectionist at Radio Centre), Joihn Grey, Peter Lawrence, Gillian Silvester, John Walker, "Bunny" Austin and Josephine Barlow - and any others who remember me.
I lived in Copthorne From 1936 to 1954 and used to travel on the 424 bus in morning and the 434 bus home. Among the staff in thoise days were Mr. and Mrs Sandall, Mr. Slatter, Mr. Bain. Miss Broadway and Miss Edwards. I have moved around since leaving East Grinstead area and now live in Birmingham but have lived and worked in Cambridge, Stevenage, Ipswich and Holland before settling in the Midlands. I look back on my schooldays as being very happy ones and the EG Grammar School was a great place to be educated

Hallo, my name is Jiri and I am looking for my English teacher called Christine – she was teaching me English for years 95-96 in E.G. College and all I remember now is she lives near cemetery and is married for vicar. She must be well known in E.G. for there cannot be so many vicars there. Can You help, please??? Anything – phone number, email, websites…..just anything. Thank You.

Hi There
I am emailing you from oz I lived in E.G til '58 I am trying to track down some school friends. Have put my name down in Sackville school and friends united,also this site. I was wondering if you could let me now the local newspapers e-mail address,as there are few friends I would like to find and being girls it's hard to find them.I thought a note in the paper might find them as not everybody has a computer. hoping you can help me.
Regards
Margaret Mortiss

Hi all,
this message is a search for two people actually. Firstly, I am looking
for Paul Cook, whom I stayed with for a couple of days back in March of
1993 while part of a junior rugby tour from Duncan, BC, Canada. He was
my host/billet, and he and his family were very accomodating, and I'd
like to get in touch with him again. He'd be about 28/29 yrs old by now,
and I believe he used to live on Merlin Way (?).
Secondly, I am searching for a gentleman named Paul, whom I have
actually never met. I have unfortunately forgotten his name, but he
responded to my first post about 3-4 years ago (for the previously
mentioned fellow), with regards to supplying a place to stay for my wife
and I while I explored beautiful EG and the surrounding regions.
I have thought of him frequently since that time, surprised and
delighted that he would extend such a generous invitation to a complete
stranger, and would like to be in contact with him again.
Cheers,
Bricklen

Old Feather.
Two ancient former pupils of East Grinstead County School, Windmill Lane,
Dave Gibbons (ex Nutley) and Joe Harris (ex Colemans Hatch) both long
resident in Australia, but who have only very recently regained contact for the first time since army days in 1946, would like to hear from any Old Feathers of their era (1937-1942) who remember them. We are concerned that very few former pupils of those days are registered with the Friends Reunited Website. Surely we are not the only survivors. Think about it and Go to it! Dave can be contacted on darogi@pcug.org.au and Joe at Pavilion_end@hotmail.com

Hello.. I used to live in Copthorne and attended Imberhorne County
Secondary from 1959 to 1963. I am trying to find old friends who used
to hang out at the "top of the town" and the Sackville Youth Club. I
moved to Canada in 1967 and have been back to E.G a few times since.
I am looking for people who were the "Rockers" (although we preferred
the term "motorcycle enthusiasts") of the early 60's such as John
Parkes, Andy Goodhind, John Grinham, Simon Armstrong, "Thick", and
others who recall our many hours in "Fortes" cafe and other hang outs
like the "Rose & Crown". One friend (John Howis) died in a traffic
accident 10 years ago but anyone who knew him would likely know me and I
would appreciate any contact.
Any info I have found regarding Imberhorne School bears no resemblance
to the school I knew...has the place been torn down and re-built??
Any contact would be appreciated, and no tid-bit of info is too trivial.
Have a great day

Hello I am looking for a family from East Grinstead but I unfortunately do not have a surname. My mother was a witness at the wedding of Peter & Barbara in approximately 1956/7 if it was in East Grinstead or possibly 1954/5 if it was in New Zealand. I have a photo of three children which is dedicated to Aunty Margaret (my mother) from Norah, Martin & Katy dated christmas 1960. I know it is a long shot but I desperately want to hear about any family with parents and children with these names who live or lived in East Grinstead until at least 1970. chris-banacek@lineone.net
