Refugees pass French soldiers

In the foreground soldiers in crested steel helmets of the French pattern watch a stream of people with bicycles and handcarts move down a street towards a church; a boy in a fur hat walks ahead of women carrying a small child and bags; along a country road women in headscarves walk beside a cart heaped with bundles. In May and June 1940 millions of Belgian and French civilians fled before the German advance.
