Join amateur historian Nigel Shearman for the dramatic story of how a territorial battalion from Guildford faced the might of Nazi Germany's invasion of France. Poorly armed and minimal training, these citizen-soldiers defended Abbeville against overwhelming odds.
Through rare photographs and personal accounts, witness their desperate fighting withdrawal across the Somme. Despite catastrophic losses, their spirit endured.
A powerful testament to courage and survival during the darkest days
May 1940.
