I found this interesting story in the Lancashire Evening Post. The 1st Loyals lost their Regimental drum during their rear guard actions at Dunkirk in May 1940. The drum was recovered by a unit of 1st Commando Brigade and presented back to the Loyals by Sergeant's Fisher and Johannesen in August 1945.

Albert Edward Johannesen was born 7th January 1917 and died in Glamorgan in 2004

Does anyone know any more about this story?
