Soldiers board a train; farewells on the platform

Along a line of railway carriages soldiers in crested steel helmets, packs and water bottles on their backs, push towards the doors; on a crowded platform a woman in a striped dress kisses a man in a dark suit while a boy and an older woman look on; hands and straw hats wave up to soldiers leaning from the carriage windows. The older catalogue places the scene in the Netherlands; the crested helmets resemble rather the French or Belgian pattern. Belgium and the Netherlands mobilised in the late summer of 1939.
