To mark the 70th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation Sean Longden, Military Historian and author of the highly acclaimed Dunkirk: The Men They Left Behind, remembers the experiences of the unsung heroes of the British Expeditionary Force.

40,000 British soldiers were left behind by the armada of `little ships`; they fought and died with many being taken into captivity so that the British war effort might live on.

Lecture commences at 19.30pm and Museum doors will open at 18:00, giving you an hour to browse through the Museum. Refreshments are also available in our café. Please note that seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
