It was 1st Canadian Brigade Group, only. Royal Canadian Regiment Hastings and Prince Edward Island Regiment 48th Highlanders of Canada 1st Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. The CO of the RCHA objected to orders to ditch his guns. After a row and some wrangling they returned to UK with twenty-four 25 Pdrs. As for the Germans not attacking the Dunkirk evacuation and causing greater slaughter, thank the troops who defended the corridor to Dunkirk. Without the strong rear-guard there would have been more casualties. | |
