4th Canadian Artillery Regiment

The information in this section was sent to me by  Mr. C. Moffet of Quebec.  He  is the nephew of  Capt. Charles-Emile Gagnon (Uncle Charlie) who was an Officer in a Canadian Artillery Regiment that was based in Bookham

The Officers were billeted at Southey Hall after the pupils of  the school were evacuated following a few near misses by bombs from enemy aircraft. One of which destroyed the lodge that stood by the  Lower Road entrance.

In his letter to me Mr. Moffet told me of the book  'By the Mouths of our Cannons' by the Canadian Military Historian, Jacques Gouin.  The book is history of 'Uncle Charlie's'  regiment ( 4th Medium Artillery Regiment) and includes a record of the time they spent at Southey Hall in1942.
