Military history

May 14–16, 1940: 2nd Battalion Glosters were continuously on the move falling back through the changing lines as the German forces advanced.
May 17–18, 1940: The unit faced direct enemy contact and was reported as being "under fire" as the defensive lines fractured.
May 19, 1940: The war diary records the battalion moving positions amidst chaotic rear-area movements, with elements experiencing heavy strafing and congestion in localized traffic bottlenecks from the Luftwaffe and armoured columns. Official war office casualty timelines list Feveryear as initially reported missing in France during this specific phase, which was later confirmed as killed in action.
