250473 Pte. Charles David Handley British Army 7th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment from:Worcester My granddad, Charles Handley, was based at Norton, Worcester in either the 7th or 8th Battalion. He was in the BEF and was left in the rear guard to defend the beaches. The order was given by his NCO that there was no chance of any of them getting back to Britain, so it was every man for himself. So my grandad threw away his weapon but kept on his uniform so he wouldn't be taken for a deserter or spy and made his way to Vichy France where he caught a fishing boat and made his way back to Britain. He was later sent to Italy and went missing in action but did make it back and returned to Britain.
