My Grandad stormed the beaches at Dunkirk. It was a family story that he did a bit of fighting, but then got freaked right out and hid in a shed until it was all over. He was found by soldiers from our side who were looking for survivors.
I cant blame him really - He didn't choose to serve - He was conscripted so had no choice. A very small gentle weak man. I'm glad he chose to hide.
If he hadn't, I'd never have known him. He died of old age in a nursing home in 1991. It was just after my Son was born. We think he had been 'holding on' to see him...
RIP Grandad x
