Winston Churchill with naval officers

Winston Churchill, in a dark overcoat and tall hat, walks past rows of people; he stands beside a naval officer with broad gold bands on his sleeves and a cap with oak leaves, and shakes hands with naval officers before ranks of sailors. According to the source Churchill inspects the survivors of Dunkirk; no survivors of the evacuation are recognisable among the naval officers and sailors around him. On 4 June 1940 he told the House of Commons that wars are not won by evacuations.
