Giles thank you for posting the letter a clear insight to the reality of Dunkirk. You can see how Military Discipline and loyalty to your comrades is critical during the chaos of such operations, retreat and evacuation are the most difficult to organize control and execute successfully. Have you sent the documents to the Imperial War Museum for them to add to their invaluable collection, they copy and return the originals, I sent them my fathers diary from his Royal Navy service and it was used by historians for accurate details on the Atlantic convoys, fall of Singapore and relief of Malta.
