Movements of Canadian Military personnel 1941-1943

Question

Does anyone have detailed / accurate information about the movement of personnel from 2nd Med. RCA Petawawa, Pembroke,  Ontario to the UK in 1941in preparation for the Dieppe landings.  Losses and casualties and the dates of the survivors’ subsequent return to Canada.

I am looking in particular for any information about Gunner Frank Bergeron (Bergeron 1682) who was at Petawawa in June 1941.and who was subsequently billeted in Brighton Sussex UK. I believe that he may have been wounded either in the run up to the landings or at Dieppe. He was known to have been in Brighton in October 1942.

Does anyone remember Frank Bergeron or have information about his time in Brighton or repatriation to Ontario and when he may have been discharged from the RCA

I have asked Library and Archives Canada (LAC) for help but they do not have details other than deaths 

Answer 1

You could try contacting the Canadian War Museum. They have a page on their website on Francophone units: https://www.warmuseum.ca/cwm/exhibitions/newspapers/canadawar/francophone_e.html

there's a link in here on ATIP requests

Answer 3

So here’s something most people don’t know/ think to do… if you are so inclined- send an ATIP request to LAC…  it cost 5$ and they MUST release his whole file. It may take a month or so- but you will get a HUGE pile of documents-minus anything that leads to current day info of their family. And minus any redacted info that is of National security.
