Mjr. Roderick Dennistoun Sword MC.
British Army 1st Btn. Middlesex Regiment

Roddy Sword was my father-in-law. He was a regular and served with the 1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment in the BEF. He got his MC during the retreat to Dunkirk when his commanding officer told him to stand and protect the retreat of the battalion, which he did with proper gallantry. He was taken off later and became Lt-Col (before reverting to substantive rank at end of war).
