"I am trying to trace a relative who served in the 1st Division of the Canadian Army and was stationed in mid-Sussex 1943-5.
"The person's name was Seymour (Slim) Ellison and he was a frequent visitor to Brighton, particularly Sherry's Dance Hall in West Street.
If anyone has information about this gentleman I would be delighted to hear from you.
"I would also be interested to know if anyone has information about what regiments of the Canadian Army were based in Sussex or where I can research this information.
"Please call 01273 721685 or email comperking@hotmail.com"
