British Soldiers Receiving Food and Drink on the Train Back To Camp, 1940. England, Second World War - Evacuation of Dunkirk. 'Men who have fought and marched, marched and fought like these, are in need of anything they can be given...ashore at last, sure to find waiting for them train upon train, shuttling a tired army away from the ports to distant bases - a service improvised overnight yet seldom found wanting, as indeed too the hundreds who wait upon the bedraggled host...infantrymen, gunners, officers, sergeants, corporals, privates, nurses as well as men, most in one piece, but some with lasting souvenirs of a lost battle'. From "Time To Remember - Run Rabbit Run", 1940 ( Reel 4); documentary film about events of early months of 1940.
