    At 1900 hours the British Admiralty instructed its commander at Dover, Vice Admiral B.H. Ramsay to begin evacuating the BEF from the shores of France. It was hoped to save 45,000 men over the course of two days. They accomplished that and much more. Here's to the brave men who made the operation such a success.

    Indeed..A time of duty, herroism...AND just plain old guts...Commander Coulston's backed up with his service issue revolver.The numbers eventually evacuated, beggar belief.
