226067 Gnr. Ronald Frederick Hale British Army Royal Artillery from:Deptford, London My dad, Ron Hale along with his older brother Harry were retreating to Dunkirk. As my dad suffered from badly blistered feet, when an abandoned motor bike was found Harry got him to ride it and said that they would meet at Dunkirk. When dad got to the beach he walked along crying out "Harry Harry!" The soldiers laughed and mimicked him, but they found each other. My dad was too short to man the guns so he drove the "ammo" trucks. He hated the flies in Egypt and wouldn't emigrate to Australia because of it. He was at Anzio and got very upset when an Indian soldier refused to leave the foxhole.
