Hi all.
The short answer is a half million Canadians passed through Britain during
World War Two, as noted in the book "The Half Million: The Canadians in
Britain 1939-46."
I have the long answer but not handy. If you're in a rush, contact one of
these media representatives in Veteran's Affairs for the exact number.

Hello Bev,
Have you tried the Military Museum at Aldershot, Hants.
Have heard they are very good and know they have a web address but I
can't lay my hands on it right now.
But,every Canadian soldier who went over had to go through Aldershot to be
processed, so the Museum should be able to assist you with some accurate
numbers.
Regards, Pam [RENNEY] McKinley, an Aldershot gal in Arizona.
