I can see the strong resemblance in the pit photo. Possibly the same man?

Referring to the RNF WW2 History, the 7th ended up quite a bit west of Dunkirk with their division (51st highland) expecting to escape at Le Harve (when it was finally obvious the game was up)...but... news eventually came there were no ships, and never likely to be any. They destroyed all their equipment on the 11th of June surrendered at St Valery on the 12th June.

A new 7th Battalion formed in England sometime later and carried on the fight.
