Camberley Old Dean Common WW2
Hello. I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right place. Does anyone have any information about Old Dean Common? I believe there was an instruction camp for Free French Forces there during WW2. Does anyone know (a) the dates that this was an instruction camp (b) whether there is any way of knowing the names of the men and women who were trained there and (c) how far from Chobham this camp was . In fact would that have been the nearest town or village? (d) Would any of the Free French have been billeted in Chobham? I'd be really grateful if anyone has any info on this. Thank you.
