After the action at Hunt's Gap, David Dawnay - photographed by Strick - inspected the debris of Colonel Rudolf Lang's failed assault on NIH in 'The Loop,' March 1943. VARIOUS: NEWLY released images explore the life of a Major-General partly responsible for the success of the DUNKIRK evacuation and Britain?s success in WORLD WAR II. In one image, Major-General Strickland?s squadron travelled through the streets of Tunis, Tunisia, in Churchill tanks and military cargo trucks as they moved to cover the northern outskirts of the city on May 8, 1943. In another, a restored Churchill tank sat on display in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. The tank was used to break the Hitler Line on May 23, 1944, by a regiment commanded by Major-General Strickland. Others showed Major-General Strickland enjoying some downtime ? both celebrating Greek Army Day in Athens, Greece, in May 1946 with his fellow officers, and on holiday with his family in Deauville, France, in the summer of 1946. The incredible photographs recount the life of Major-General Eugene Vincent Michael Strickland, known to most as Strick, who was awarded many titles throughout his extensive 35-year military career including CMG, DSO, OBE, MM, CStJ, and the Star of Jordan. Major-General Strickland was the only British General to rise from the rank of Private. Written by his son Tim Strickland, Strick, is published by Casemate Publishers and focuses on Strick?s life during World War II, including the key role he played in the evacuation of Dunkirk. mediadrumworld.com/Casemate Publishers
