In 1940 at least eight NI men die at Dunkirk where daytime evacuations cease due to danger to ships from air, sea and land. A second son of the Seale family of Portadown, dies with RUR in 1944. Their name is linked to Rory Best, a recent Irish and Lions rugby player. Photos – Villers-Bretonneux CWGC Cemetery and a dedicated member of staff. For today’s full report click on file at –
