My name is Bailey Middleton. My father, Benjamin Middleton, had been called into battle. He was to stand by Commander Bolton and help get men off of Dunkirk beach. He was an officer. My mother, Bridget Middleton, was a nurse. Before she was called into battle, she taught me everything she knew. I knew medicine was my passion and I was glad to have a teacher like her. Unfortunately, she died only two weeks ago. Her death left my father and I devastated. So, when my father was called to Dunkirk, I of course went along with him. Although he was pleading with me to stay home in Dover, England, I knew I belonged out in battle, continuing the role that my mother had sadly left.
