I also came across an undated postcard from Sussex New Brunswick which reads...
Dear Louise,
We are here with Skill and enjoying every minute to-gether. Skill gets home every night with us. His camp is lovely here. This is a quiet place, but beautiful country. Hope you are all well.
Love,
Donna, Ruth and Skill.
Skill was Milton's nickname.
I found this blurb on the Sussex NB Website...
Camp Sussex, (which is now the Sussex Industrial Park), housed and trained most of the army personnel who were dispatched overseas during the war. The 8th Hussars Regiment is headquartered here and hundreds of veterans return each year to see the town that they called home during training for deployment during World War II. There is a Military Museum in the Sussex Train Station with lots of history about the part Camp Sussex played, and as part of the Sussex Mural Project, a mural commemorating Camp Sussex has been painted downtown.
Blessings,
Liisa
