World War Two / Re: Dunkirk
« on: Wednesday 30 October 19 07:25 GMT (UK) »
I am an amateur family historian, and I am going to attempt to write up my paternal history - I am in the research stage. Recently when interviewing very elderly relatives they referred to an Uncle (Ernest Green) as involved in the 'second wave' rescue at Dunkirk. Would someone be able to interpret that for me please. I don't know Ernest's regiment yet, I have sent for his marriage cert. hoping to get some details from that. Apparently he had a desk job as a clerk in the army, but 2 days before he was sent to Dunkirk he practised with a rifle. So he had next to no experience as an infantry man before experiencing combat.
Thank you
