With regard to the son his record is with the MOD & can be applied for
however most will be pre-war service as Dunkirk was the 1st. engagement of WW2.
There is some info on JB Parke on the GWF stating he was also in the 1st. & 2nd. Btn's RIR
& also attached to the Ministry of Labour.
There's no evidence he went overseas.
His record is at TNA & can be ordered from there but apparently there's not much left of it.
Added:
The son isn't listed on the CWGC site so what was his Regt.
There are online trees that have him dying in the 70's.

There is a medal card for the father, but in the name J Beatty Parke.

Is it possible he became a prisoner of war and later died as a result of his wounds? If so there are a number of soldiers reported missing in 1940 with the name J Parke. The one who stands out (because of his regiment) is listed as a prisoner of war: 7014029 Rfm J Parke 2nd battalion Royal Ulster Rifles, first reported as missing in casualty list 254 (WO 417/14). This particular soldier was held in STALAG 3A Luckenwalde. There is no record of his death in the camp.
There is also a Sergeant J Parke Irish Guards listed as a POW in 1940.
