Chapter 6: The First Men Home
* In his published memoirs Fred Goddard stated that he was evacuated from Brest, from where the organized elements of his regiment were indeed rescued. However, the author believes Goddard was actually evacuated from St Nazaire since his account includes vivid recollections of German aerial activity and the bombing of ships in the harbour. Records show that no Allied ships were lost to bombing at Brest.
