Synopsis

The battle that took place in May 1940 was the first great epic of the Second World War. The battle itself was won by the German Army, inevitable once they had reached Abbeville on May 20 before the Allied High Command had realized the danger. But in a sense, the battle was also won by the soldiers and sailors of the British Expeditionary Forces and its allies, to the extent that although all equipment was lost, almost 340,000 men were brought out safely.

About this title

Book Description:

Memories of Dunkirk from those who were saved and help save others in the ‘miracle of deliverance’

About the Author:

Frank and Joan Shaw live in Hinckley in Leicestershire. They have four children and nine grandchildren. They were born and raised in Deal, Kent and this is where they spent the war. The idea of the We Remember series came when their granddaughter asked them about the Second World War for a school project. Frank and Joan decided more memories needed to be committed to paper, and they wrote to 700 local newspapers throughout the country asking just that. They were flooded with letters, which they then self-published as five hardback books, raising over £100,000 for the Royal British Legion. Ebury Press are excited to be republishing them over 20 years later, with all royalties also going to the Legion.
