Bravery of 51st Highland Division at forgotten Dunkirk will be remembered

Her Majesty The Queen s Piper, Pipe Major Richard Grisdale, of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, on top of the Round Tower at Windsor Castle, joining pipers and musicians in marking the Battle of St Valery-en-Caux in June 2020. It is known as the forgotten Dunkirk, the little known plight of the 51st Highland Division who were left in France. On June 12 1940, days after the mass-evacuations at Dunkirk, 10,000, mainly Scottish soldiers were captured and forced to surrender at the French fishing port of St Valery. The events that occurred that day have been largely forgotten by history. And as the 80th anniversary was marked last year, it came with a promise that the men and their legacy would be remembered.
