John Evans
British Army
My father, John Evans (also known as Jack), was captured at West Capelle during the rearguard fight to Dunkirk. I would like to find out more about this battle. He was then imprisoned at Stalag XXA until his escape on 21st January 1945, when he and many others eventually made it to Odessa. The survivors sailed home on the `Duchess of Richmond'. Any memories or knowledge of this would be very welcome.
