I used to live in Sir John Moore Avenue, Hythe. This small estate was built on the site of the School of Musketry. We went to Nova Scotia, Canada, to see my wife's family. While there, we visited a tourist attraction. I found myself at a bookstall, picked up a book that I liked the look of, turned it over to see what it said about the book etc. The book was written by Thomas Head Raddall, born 1908, in Hythe, Kent. His father having been seconded to the Canadian military for small arms training. I thought that was some coincidence. Trevor.
