I'm researching WWII in Sussex, and if anyone knows of any great places to start my research, your help would be much appreciated. I live in Brighton but anywhere surrounding that area is fine. Thanks

Hi Andrea, I'm from sussex too (very near Brighton!!) I found some websites that might help you with your research. In actual fact... someone I know's Grandad flew a Spitfire in the war and it crashed in a lake somewhere near here (can't remember where unfortunately) but his son rescued the wreckage for him and he has the wing in his garage now!! hehe. I'll list the websites for you:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/08/a2515808.shtml - that one's particually good, in Bexhill.
