Re the above, with the help of information supplied by the Worcestershire Regiment's archives I think I have tracked the location to the opposite side of the road to the Royal Warwickshire H.Q. south of Esquelbec. From what I can figure the British troops in that area were holding up the LSAH and other units and a JU87 Stuka attack was called in which killed many, including the C.O. and Deputy C.O. of A Company Royal Warkwickshire Regiment.

Incidentally the actions of British troops in that area IMO undoubtedly helped those at Dunkirk to escape by holding up the Germans for 24 hours.
Cheers
