jhill Posted 13 January , 2006 Share Posted 13 January , 2006 Hi! I am afraid that I cannot help much. You may already know this, but the 7th Canadian Stationary Hospital was located in the Havre area in 1916-1917. You can view the War Diaries of this and other Canadian units at the Canadian National Archives website here . You can search the archive data base in french, but I am afraid the entries were kept in english only at that time. There might have been other Canadian camps and hospitals at Havre, but this is the only one that comes quickly to my mind. Perhaps one of our experts will come to your aid!

F.Vaudour Posted 14 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 14 January , 2006 Hello, Thanks for your help Never mind for the exact location, I find a other way.

jhill Posted 14 January , 2006 Share Posted 14 January , 2006 François, If you found the diary of the 7th Cdn Hospital interesting, you may also want to browse that of the Canadian Base Depot . The Canadian Base Depot was at le Havre until the spring of 1917. Of course, a Base Depot was not a Hospital or "rest" camp of any sort, but the diary does give a day-to-day account of the goings-on of the area, such as the weather, whether the port was open or closed, and so on.

JulianB Posted 15 January , 2006 Share Posted 15 January , 2006 Regarding camps at or near Le Havre, could I ask if anyone knows where "No 1 Rest Camp" was. According to the War Diary reference I have it was just on the outskirts of the town. Would a "rest camp" such as this appear on the military maps of the area ? (I have feeling that there is a ref to a "No 2 Rest Camp" too but can't remember where I saw that one) thanks Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
