Hi,
 
My Grandfather Frank Robert ALLEN served in the RSF no.3130522, B coy 12 Platoon 2RSF, as I understand it he was captured whilst defending the withdrawal of troops from Dunkirk. I have limited details of what occurred but he was a POW (no. 12216) in Poland at stalag Thorn Podgorz. Do you have any photos or information on his platoon.

I have a certificate that he was given by the Red Cross Society and the order of St John of Jerusalem, this is signed by King and Queen. I believe he received this for his service to humanity as a prisoner but do not know how or why he received it. 

Thanks,
