A subdued Last Post as we commemorated 80 years since the evacuation of Dunkirk.
Our poem was Evacuation of Dunquecue (Dunkirk), a poem that was written by an un-named member of the Enniskillen Fusillers, an Irish infantry regiment of the British Army, who participated in the evacuation. The author of the poem wrote it during his recuperation from the war. It was given to the Age Concern Library in Leicester.
We remembered Private Louis Harold Morris and Private Gordon Williams. Private Morris of the Canadian Forestry Corps was aged 33. Private Williams was a member of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. Both were killed on 7th June 1940 and are buried in Brookwood Military Cemetery.
We had three Standards on parade, including the Maverick Explorer Scout Unit in Woking District.
Alan Lopez was our Standard Bearer, Ruth Moore sounded the Last Post and Paul McCue of the Secret WW2 Learning Network read the poem.
