Not long before he died I found my Grandfather's diary of his time in the war. There was a section about the retreat to Dunkirk. It was harrowing reading. A 100 mile trek that sounded like a walk through hell. But I was intrigued by Michael who Grandfather said had kept their spirits up; had seen them through the nightmare. Shortly after he died I decided to fulfil his last wish: to visit Michael's grave ato say thank you. I found the grave but I also found a lot more than I'd bargained for.
