Paul C Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Does anyone have a list of men awarded the VC for action at Dunkirk. I am help a friend with some family research. I would guess there was not more then 6 or so awarded. Thanks in advance.
Mervyn Mitton Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Paul - do you have any idea as to a name - I have a special two volume set giving all details on VC awards.
Paul C Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 The name is the problem. When I spoke to my friend last night he said that his grandfather was in the British army prior to the war and had deserted but at the start of the war he re-entered the army under a different name that my fiend can not remember. I figured I would try to get a list of VC names for Dunkirk and work from there with pictures and background information.
