To anyone who is militarily versed, I'm sorry if I sound stupid, but I'm very new to anything military-related.
My Grandfather, Pte.Thomas Almon Kitchener was at the Dieppe Raid on August 19th 1942, in The Royal Regiment of Canada and was injured. I've been studying Dieppe specifically for an individual assignment in my Grade 10 History class, and I've started reviewing any of his records I've found.
I need to know what it means on a form, that states his "Original Unit" as D.D.2. It is listed below his Unit, The Royal Regiment of Canada and I want to know what it represents. This is a matter of curiousity, and possibly historical significance. I need to know what "D.D.2" and an "Original Unit" is.
