Tom Moore Becomes An Honorary Colonel... But The Army Has ONE MORE Surprise For Him! | Forces TV

Well done Colonel Moore. I never really asked my Grandfather about his experience at Calais as he would just talk a little bit about it, then change the subject. After he had died, my Mum bought me a book about the aftermath of Dunkirk and the soldiers march into captivity. I then began to research it and have found The Siege of Calais it to be a fascinating story of bravery on the part of the British soldiers that were there. The 1st Bn, The Rifle Brigade were captured in their entirety and the story has been recounted by few people, including Airey Neave. if you have a relative that went through that War, ask the questions now, before it is too late.
