L/Cpl. Ernest Arthur Connon
British Army Northamptonshire Regiment
My father Arthur Connon was at Dunkirk. He didn't talk about it much but I know he was holed up in an orchard for five days and never ate apples again. He was at Dunkirk with his friend who couldn't swim and urged my father to swim for a boat. They never met again until in their 80's when they bumped into each other in Peterborough market
