The border barrier is raised

At a border post on a village street, beneath round signs reading Douanes Françaises, men in helmets lift the striped barrier pole while others watch; beside a brick wall soldiers in flat steel helmets of the British pattern ride motorcycles, one with a sidecar, past a gun. On 10 May 1940, the day of the German attack, British and French troops crossed from France into Belgium to take up positions on the river Dyle.
