Sgt. Thomas Gray

British Army 1st Battalion Queens Own Cameron Highlanders

from:Haddington

My Father, Thomas Gray joined the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders as a boy soldier in I think 1925. He left the army after being a member of the regimental band and winning loads of medals for his athletic prowess. He trained as a psychiatric nurse and then was called back in 1939 as a class A reservist, joining the 1st dock labour coy and he was one of the last people out of France. Does anyone know what the evacuation was like? Dad has now been dead a long time and really did not discuss it except to say he and a comrade were in a pigsty and it was either them or the Germans. How awful.
