When I was five years old I lived in Brighton Sussex, about the time of the British Expeditionary force withdrew from Dunkirk. Some British, French and Belgian troops came through the town. My mother made a French ticolour flag and the soldiers to sign it. At first they were reluctant to so,but eventually theydid sign it. I wish I had that flag today.
Later I remember they seafront had barbedwire, tank traps, mines and pillboxes with machine guns in them! Also the centre section of Palace and West peirs were blownup.
