 POW's Captured at 'Guines' Northern France 31st May 1940, whilst trying to hold the Germans back while the beaches were evacuated. My grandfather far right, after their capture they then started the "Great March" which in his case finished in Warsaw Poland. They then started the long five years as POW's in Germany and Poland.
