E. Stacey served with the rank of Corporal in the 8th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster) during the Fall of France. This battalion took part in the withdrawal to Dunkirk, a disordered affair as the unit war diary makes clear with various companies each taking their own path to the beaches. During the chaos, Stacey was one of those who went missing, being taken prisoner on 28 May 1940. He was noted as a British prisoner of war at Neurode Mining Camp but was later repatriated; sold together with a copy of 8th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster) War Diary, casualty lists and extracts relating to the King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster).
