2nd Lt. Kenneth Roy Gough

British Army Royal Army Service Corps

I am trying to find some information about a group of soldiers serving in the RASC who were, I think, attached to the 51 Highland Division. They were stationed near Metz in June 1940. This group did not move with the 51st when they left the Metz area on about the 29th May 1940 but were ordered to remain in Metz until ordered to leave by train on 13th June 1940 bound for St Nazaire. After 3 days the train had only got as far as Vesoul on the 17th June. Some 80 of these men led by 2nd Lt K Gough (my father) eventually found their way to the Swiss border on 23rd June 1940 having walked for 6 days. They were interned in Switzerland. I have the original diary of the journey and would like to find any further information concerning the journey and identify any survivors or relatives
