Does anyone know how I can source any information on 2nd Batt Coldstream Guards late May/early June 1940. I know they were positioned about 20 miled south east of Dunkirk in the rearguad but detail seems to dosappear at that point. I have spent about a week on internet and Coldstream Guard sites seem a bit thin. I assume there were diaries and dispositions documented so any info. woul dbe helpful.

Incidentally, I came across a book today "Dunkirk, retreat to victory" by Major General Julian Thompson only just published. It seems to have some good detail if anyone is interested.
