1 Dunkirk WW2 - Veteran Bill Cheall's story of the beaches, Second World War
One man's nail-biting bid to escape from France in 1940. Learn how Bill Cheall and his comrades of the 6 Green Howards survive the stukas to board a ship to get back to England. "We could see ships out at sea making their way from Dunkirk to England and could also see the dive-bombers after the ships. To our horror, many other ships had been sunk, their funnels and superstructures sticking out of the water - it was a ships' graveyard and it looked dreadful." Great unpublished second world war history!
