Soldiers crowd the decks

A small steamer with a lifeboat hanging from its davits lies close alongside, its deck crowded with men; soldiers in helmets with packs and rifles jam every space of a deck; a crowd of soldiers in flat British steel helmets laughs and waves. According to the source the evacuation from Dunkirk. Between 26 May and 4 June 1940 some 338,000 British and French soldiers were brought to England.
