Unfortunately, due ti illness, I have not been able to spend much time carrying out any research into Frank Faulkner over the last couple of years. I am however happy to report that I have discovered Frank was the Chairman of the Torbay branch of the Dunkirk Veterans Association.

Hello. Kevin
Thanks for your reply. I bought the medals at auction. I collect ww2 Military Medals and particularly like those to men who served in the 3rd Division who landed on Sword beach on D day.
L/Sgt Faulkner attended many reunions in Normandy and as a Dunkirk veteran he attended reunions there.
I am
Assuming he was. Legion member and wonder if the Legion in Newton Abbot have any
Photos of their veterans ?
I am afraid I do not know where he is interned.
