520 8  Annotation|bIn early September 1939, the 2nd Battalion 
       Royal Norfolk Regiment were one of the first complete 
       infantry units of the BEF to land in France. The first 
       months of World War Two were relatively quiet but after 
       deploying to the Maginot Line sector during January 1940 
       they came into contact with those Germans manning the West
       Wall or Seigfried Line. A patrol led by Captain Peter 
       Barclay entered German territory and was attacked. As a 
       result, the first decorations of the war were awarded. 
       Barclay received the Military Cross and Lance-Corporal 
       Davis the Military Medal while the remaining members of 
       the patrol were mentioned in despatches. Two days later, 
       the battalion suffered a tragic first when Lieutenant 
       Patrick Everitt was mortally wounded while leading a 
       daylight patrol. Everitt was the first British officer to 
       be killed in action in the Second World War. When the 
       Germans launched their offensive on 10 May, the BEF 
       advanced to the River Dyle in Belgium. Within days the 
       Allied Armies had been forced onto the back foot by the 
       speed and ferocity of the German breakthrough. The 
       Norfolks withdrew to the River Escaut where the BEF was to
       make a stand. On 21 May, the Company Sergeant Major George
       Gristock courageously destroyed some German machine-gun 
       posts and won a posthumous Victoria Cross. As the Allies 
       withdrew towards the Channel, the Norfolks were ordered to
       defend a section of the Canal Line between Béthune and Le 
       Cornet Malo. Already down to around half strength, the 
       Norfolks held their sector from 24 to 27 May. By the time 
       the order was issued for them to withdraw, it was too late,
       Battalion HQ at Duries Farm, Le Paradis was surrounded and
       they had no alternative but to surrender, although 'C' 
       Company held out until the following morning. After the 
       surrender, ninety-nine men of the Battalion were marched 
       to a paddock where they were machine-gunned in cold blood 
       by their SS captors. Miraculously, two men survived and 
       were instrumental in bringing the SS officer responsible, 
       Fritz Knoechlien, to justice after the war. When the 
       remnants of the battalion reassembled in England, its 
       strength was just five officers and 134 other ranks. The 
       remainder had either been killed or captured as POWs.
