War veterans who fought at Dunkirk will share their military memories on Saturday.
Former soldiers who served in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry will talk about the battle and evacuation during a one-day conference at The Slade Barracks, in Headington, Oxford, on Saturday, February 21.
In 1940 the men fought to help hundreds of thousands of troops escape from the French coast on to ships.
The day will also include lectures from military experts about the role of the infantry at Dunkirk.
Dr Gary Sheffield, who will speak at the conference, said: "It's a fantastic opportunity to bring these old soldiers together, perhaps for the last time.
"As historians, we can learn only so much from the documents.
"Hearing the men who fought at Dunkirk tell their stories adds another dimension to history."
He added: "We will be recording the proceedings, so we will end up with a permanent and unique record of one of the greatest campaigns in British history."
