posted on 2024-06-05, 18:58 authored by Their Finest Hour Project TeamAt the age of 19 years and 6 months, my father was evacuated from Dunkirk. This is the only photograph we have of him and his time in France. As a Sapper, he said they were "too busy to be frightened", laying mines and making obstructions to slow the German advance.
