British Soldiers Aboard Ships Evacuating Dunkirk, 1940. Second World War. 'Men who have fought and marched, marched and fought like these, are in need of anything they can be given. But the Luftwaffe is not to be easily balked of its prey. During the hours of daylight, attacks are often incessant...there is no panic, only the swiftness of necessity and daring improvisation. The Royal Navy provides an army stepping stones to Britain, and this is no army to be lost for the want of a ship'. From "Time To Remember - Run Rabbit Run", 1940 ( Reel 4); documentary film about events of early months of 1940.
