• Dunkirk Veterans' accounts - James HILL: "So I was sent on to Calais and I got to Calais and I was given a billet in a basement and I found there were two companions in that basement. One was my uncle - a chap called Douglas Hill in the 7th Hussars - and then a cousin of mine came along - Dick Page. So all three of us - neither of us, any of us knowing that the other was even in France - found ourselves all together. Two days later my uncle was dead, four days later my cousin was put in the bag, and was in the bag for the rest of the war, and I was lucky and escaped.”
