Smoke over a harbour, a stretcher and a boat under a flag

Thick smoke drifts over the houses and quays of a harbour town at the foot of a slope, a line of boats moored below; soldiers in flat, broad-brimmed helmets carry a wounded man on a stretcher across the snow; from a boat crowded with helmeted men a flag with a cross flies against the sky, and smoke rises from the shore of the fjord ahead. According to the source the withdrawal of British troops from Norway under German air attack; the Allied forces in central Norway were taken off at Åndalsnes and Namsos between 1 and 3 May 1940.
