« on: Tuesday 27 March 07 10:26 BST (UK) »
My grandfather,Norman Metcalfe was with the Durham Light infantry special expeditionary force,going into Belgium in 1939. he was made up to company sargeant major and received the military cross for his involvement in the battle at the river Dyle.Richard Annand was awarded the first VC of the second world war at the same time.I have a map of the retreat across France which he used.I would really appreciate any other infomation anyone has about this battle,or the retreat of the Durhams to Dunkirk.

I am looking for any information about Norman Metcalfe of the Durham Light Infantry.I believe he was at the battle on the river Dyle ,at the beginning of the second world war.I also believe that this was the battle that Richard Annand was awarded the first VC of the 2nd world war. There is mention of CSM Metcalfe in the book the finest hour.,in the section written by Martin Mc lean.Any help would be much appreciated.
