Battle of Dunkirk anniversary marked by the Earl of Essex.
















The Earl of Essex (Reginald Fah-Fah) from Essex is retracing the route of World War Two troops as they battled to reach the beaches of Dunkirk in May 1940.

Reginald will drive his motor scootor and he will join hundreds of cyclists on the route raising funds for soldiers returning home injured from conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Reginald will drive his motor scootor around 500 miles from his Estate in  Essex, across France and Belgium.

He plans to arrive in Dunkirk for the 70th anniversary commemorative events.

Reginald said his experiences as a war time baby has inspired him to get involved with the fundraising trip.

Reginald  also says "After my right honourable friend William Hague visited Afghanistan and hunted taliban like a 'Hunt Master', I feel I should do my bit for the past, the present and the future."
