You may be interested to know that many of troops left from Folkestone and on Sunday 5th August there is a commemorative march down the road they took, - many thousands never to return..... Now named the Road of Remembrance.

A project called StepShort is helping to remember them and making signatures from a stop-off cafe available online.
