501369 Joseph Alan Wright Army 11th Battalion Durham Light Infantry My father, Joseph Alan Wright, served in the 11th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry in France with the BEF, and in Iceland. He tells me that he started to swim the Channel from the Dunkirk beaches before being picked up by a fishing boat. I don't have many details, except his identification number: 4459285 and the fact that he was in Battalion HQ in 1941 (at that time I think they were in Wales). He also worked in training at some stage - teaching economics! I'm pleased to say that my father is still alive.
