Dunkirk

[r.morrison]

Gentlemen: Regarding the conversation about the "new" Dunkirk movie which has made it's way onto the forum..... the Canadian part of it I am very dodgy on. But some where in the back of my mind, I am pretty sure there were Canadians rescued at Dunkirk and that a small group had gone over and something reminds me that it was the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. I'll have to do a little more looking into this or possibly Ed.

HOWEVER..... if you are looking for Canadian content..... check out the original movie made in 1958 with John Mills and Richard Attenborough. At approximately 1 hour and 21 minutes 42 seconds you will see "John and Dicky" pull over to the side of a road to Dunkirk and there at the left side is an abandoned CMP Cab 12 30cwt. Fact or fiction....well we'll know soon enough.

Worth looking at...Robert AND maybe someone with far more skills on a computer than yours truly could post it here!!!

So When were the first Cab 12s built?

Hey Lynne....just hung up the phone to your mate down Fielding way, Ian MacArthur. We'll trust the experts on this forum to answer your question. Say....do you know anyone at the Papakurra Rugby Club?? Robert

[Lynn Eades]

Hi Robert, Sorry, no. I don't know anyone from Papakura. There is a military camp there.

Must have been that special Stainless Steel version....with the "flux capacitor"....

No Canadians at Dunkirk, 1st Canadian Infantry Brigade, 1st Canadian Infantry Division did have a short foray into southern France a week after DYNAMO had finished.

I concur with Ed Storey. There were no Canadian units/formations present at Dunkirk, nor on the continent at the time of the Dunkirk evacuation.

Cheers
