Small Ships

Today marks the 70th anniversary of Operation Dynamo- the evacuation of Dunkirk. Over 300,000 allied troops were rescued from northern France during the period 27 May to 4 June 1940. Around 50 of the original surviving small ships made the trip across the English Channel today to mark the occasion. Read about it here and take a look at some images here.
















Some have argued that without this heroic rescue the war may well have ended differently or at least lasted far longer.



BTW: Five hundred blog posts. Not too shabby LOL.
