Looking for info on uncle KIA 20/05/1940

Hi
I'm looking for any available information about my uncle:

Sapper Thomas Clay
1910152
658 Coy. Royal Engineers.

I believe he was attached to 51st division (Saar Force?) and was involved (and killed) in the rearguard action that they were involved in.

He is commemorated on the Dunkirk Memorial. I will be visiting in July but would also like to visit the place where he died if I can find out where that was.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Dennis.

Thanks for that Jan. I guess the only way I could pinpoint the place of his death would be by accessing the Battalion diaries and finding out what action they were involved in on that day.
