Hello All
Just starting to research the BEF from landing in france to the dunkirk evacuation.
The specific area I will investigate is the history of the 7th & 8th Battalions of the Worcestershire Regiment and both brigades they were attached too.
To start the ball rolling I would likr to know the Brigade commander of the 144th at the time of disembarktion and landing in france.
Looking forward to anyone out there who can help or would like to participate in the research.
Regards Kevo Wright
