I would like to know what Regiments were billeted in Thames Drive area of Leigh-on-Sea during the war and if they went to France on D-Day.Are any of these troops still alive? Also what happened to Colonel Laverty ( who was billeted at 94 Thames Drive towards the end of the war)after his heroic service in the war in Burma and if he is still alive (which I doubt).He was mentioned by the Queen in her speech at the fiftieth commemoration of the war.Perhaps his relatives could tell me? I know he had a little girl, she was a toddler at the time he was billeted with his wife at Thames Drive.Does anyone remember me? a little girl who they called Blondie? Were they Canadians? Was it a "mock" D-Day set up to fool the Germans that we would go from the Thames Estuary that produced the mass of vessels in the Estuary and all the vehicles that crammed all the roads in Leigh? Please respond....signed Blondie.
