British Sailors Receiving Orders for the Evacuation of Dunkirk, 1940. Second World War. '...at Dover, Admiral Ramsay's Operation Dynamo is in progress. In south-eastern harbours, small naval craft begin to gather, to tune up engines and guns, for a great task that lies ahead...yachtsmen and part-time sailors are kissing their wives farewell, and making the knots for Dover. And so it swells, this fleet of little ships, an armada that will make greater history than its Spanish namesake - for without it, Operation Dynamo would not have been possible'. From "Time To Remember - Run Rabbit Run", 1940 ( Reel 3); documentary film about events of early months of 1940.
