There is a National Archives entry Your Archives Evacuation from Dunkirk. Suggest you try that.

Not really Theresa, You are looking for the son of a Crewe railwayworker who happened to have been evacuated at Dunkirk. Not off topic at all.

Have you tried :

South Cheshire Family History Society (Crewe Group) http://www.fhsc.org.uk/  who are located in Crewe Library
or
The Cheshire Records Office at Chester http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/home.htm I know these have the staff records from Crewe Works covering that period'.
or
The staff history/roll of honour search of the LNWR Society  http://www.lnwrs.org.uk/SHG/index.php,

If you post the names your looking for I might be able to search a couple of places

I found one or two of mine on the LNWR site, but it has thrown up a strange query.............. what on earth would a 'jeweler' be doing worjing at crewe works???

The Railway companys clocks & watches were repaired in Crewe Works, so he was probably employed there.

I dodn't know of a watch repairer, jeweller at Crewe works, but there was certainly one at Doncaster, still employed into the 1980s, and a tradesman too, could make a watch as well as repair or assemble one.
