Pte. John Henry Moore MID

from:Ivinghoe, Aston, Beds
My father, John Henry Moore (Jack), served in the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment. He was injured at Dunkirk whilst going back to rescue a Senior Officer carrying important papers, an action for which he was Mentioned in Despatches and later received an "oak leaf". He was posted missing although he had been admitted to hospital in France and was later transferred to Stalag VIIIB Camp 344 where he remained for the rest of the war.
