Hello my names nicola. After watching the programs on dunkurk recently I was told of how my grandfather joe langsford was evacuated from dunkurk. His regiment was the royal warwicks. As he never spoke to anyone of his experience I would like to no more. All i no is that he was on the last boat to be evacuated from dunkurk .my mother no's of one friend he surved with and his name is Allen Cox. We also found out that his regiment was taken to Wallmunt barn were some of them were shot or died when a granade was thrown into the barn. We are not sure whether he was in that barn and survived. If there is anyone who was in the royal warwicks regiment and remebers my grandfather than it would be lovely to hear from you.
