Dan Fitzgerald
British Army
from:Mountjoy St, Belfast
My father's youngest brother, Dan Fitzgerald, was one of the 350,000 plus British soldiers stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk. Thankfully he was rescued by the amazing fleet of 'little boats'. He was one of many in the hold of the rescue ship. He looked across at another weary soldier who looked at my uncle Dan and said "I know you", my Uncle Dan replied, " you should, you are married to my sister. Rosina."
What are those odds, out of the rescued, over 300,000 men that two brother-in-law, from Belfast, were on the same ship? I enclose a photo of uncle Dan's homecoming. This has just come to light and must have been in a local Belfast newspaper, I know not which paper. The photo is very blurry but I would like it to be told. My Uncle Dan is in uniform, my granny, his mother, is beside him. There are other members of the Fitzgerald family including my dad and mum, Charlie and Sadie Fitzgerald
