Charles de Gaulle reviews Free French forces

Charles de Gaulle, tall and in a kepi embroidered with oak leaves, stands beside an older officer in a peaked cap; before large trees he walks with officers along a line of sailors in round caps and men in black berets; a sailor salutes as the party passes. Apparently a review of Free French forces in Britain, 1940–1942. De Gaulle, who had flown to London on 17 June 1940, called on the French to continue the fight in his broadcast of 18 June.
