I was looking for the poem from the Fleet Mac album "Bare Tees", but I wasn't too disappointed> My Dad was in the U.S. Navy till June '41, His last ship was the West Virginia. I understand a lot of this sentiment. My father was lifelong disappointed they wouldn't let him re-enlist due to a B.C.D. he got for missing ship one time too many.

Thank you...I wasn't at Dunkirk, nor were any family members. I've never been to England let alone ride a BSA M20. I do ride...daily actually here in California. But, I am glad that I stumbled onto your video on this grey day in the Sunshine State. You have put a proper smile on my face.

I love this video. If you don't mind me asking, how did your father pass?

@bikenutt1000 Hi. thanks for your feedback. It's a complicated story, but I think my dad died of a heart attack, possibly brought on by TB.

Nice video. As a small boy I was taken on the final voyage of the Medway Queen. Southend pier to Herne Bay and back.
And I have always wondered if we do inherit some memories.
