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
