Only about 50 left of these brave men left now worldwide.

What a life William Walker led.......long and no doubt proud.

RIP.

He's only swapped his wings Lee. He'll live forever, like the rest of them.

Thank you Lee for this thread. My father, who is 95, is a Dunkirk veteran. I wonder how many of those men are alive today.

They will live forever Jay.

I hope he gets his telegram....he well deserves it.

Another brave man who says goodbye.

The title is totally accurate. None of us, even at my age can imagine the effects on the families. Whilst I remember the total silence from 1945- onwards, the world of yesteryear is alien to the modern world of technology and the demand for instant information.
My simple philosophy is this:-
"LET US REMEMBER THE PAST WITH PRIDE AND HONOUR, AND EMBRACE THE FUTURE TOGETHER!"
The title also is relevant to those still involved with all ex-service associations everywhere!
