    Thanks Clive - I have the units war diary and I'm fairly confident they were no where near there at the time so a PoW and or Casualty spring to mind.

    I'll post an update next week.

    The update is, there is no diary for June. On the 31st the Bn was marching to Dunkirk from the last recorded position on the 30th May being 'South of Houthem'.
