After finding accounts describing the heroic actions fought by the Royal Sussex regiment at Amiens and Strazeele/Caestre in France in 1940, I am now searching for other verbal or written accounts of these actions.
I am also searching for accounts from other soldiers or sailors who served in the British Expeditionary Force, the Royal Navy and in little SS or HMS ships or cross-Channel steamers during the campaign in France and Belgium in 1940, or their families if they hold written memoirs.
This is in connection with a book commissioned by Penguin about Dunkirk.
It is to be a monument to the forgotten heroes whose last ditch stands and daring acts at sea made the 1940 evacuations from France possible.
