Canadian troops billeted in English
Canadian troops billeted in English village during World War Two. Nice homefront scenes.
Weystone? England (actually Godstone, Surrey), swans on a pond in front of a large manor house. Ye Old White Hart Pub. AD 1388. Boy bicycles down the village road. Old women shuffle up the pavement, beside a pram. A man rides a large work horse along the village green. A man in a bowler hat and cane sits on a bench in the sun. Mothers sit with their children beside the green until…tanks! Tanks drive down the main street, a detachment of troops carriers. The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry arriving at their winter quarters. The troop carriers drive beside the village green. A young boy beside the pond on the green. The troops jump out of the tank-like vehicles. They march down the street with their rifles over their shoulders, the group stops beside a picket fence. All four go up to the front door. The elderly Mrs. Smith opens the door with a smile. The officers of D - Company have a plaster and beam house to themselves. Two of them go into the kitchen, one of them hits his head on the low door frame. One unloads himself of his pack, already with a cigarette in his mouth. An Elizabethan portrait. They marvel at the interior decorations of the house, such as the interior corbels. The Colonel and the Adjutant in the headquarters in the White Hart public house. A picture of the Princess Pat's in Action at the battle of Ypres.
A man pulls the pin on a grenade and waits a while before he throws, he bends down behind the sandbags. The grenade explodes in an abandoned quarry. The face of a soldier as he fires his machine gun. Bren gun carriers bounce over a sloping hill. Two Princess Pats help wash and dry the dishes with their billet. Another soldier looks rather bored turning the crank of a mangle as the housewife billet feeds in the clothes. One of the soldiers carries a child. He lays her down in a crib and tucks her in, he wiggles a rabbit in front of her as she eats a biscuit. A Canadian soldier does a crossword in front of the fire and asks the father, who holds his daughter on his knee, for help with a clue. The mother/wife comes out of the kitchen with tea. The adults, mostly women, play a board game with the soldiers. An older Canadian, his hat tilted back, sits in a pub with a cigar and a pint in front of him. Another older man listens to him. Playing darts with the locals. The locals on the green listening to the regiment band, lots of kids. The soldiers marching along the high street on their way out of the village, all the people watching.
