Colin, do you know what his cause of death was? as he is listed as having died after the retreat from Dunkirk, so I suspect he died in hospita of wounds sustained.

Sorry the only information was he was shot in the back taken into a hospital and died of his wounds, it was during the retreat at Dunkirk. Although it is my Aunts dad he is not really related to me as it was my uncle that was from my side of the family.

 

Hello,

Is there any chance of a photo of Gordon Charles Clunes?

Every year on November 1, we lay a wreath on the 3 graves at Mechelen.

Would be nice to have a face to his name,

Greetings, Filip Doms
