Getty Images - Unsupported browser detected Start from page 33 and work backwards as page 1 appears to be the most modern. Anyway lots of great WW2 Dunkirk related pics I've never seen before and I've seen a few. This one caught my eye: I believe this is the same building re-built after the war east of Malo-les-Bains. Rich its that same one you and Jan were looking for.
I liek images like this as it kinda portrays normality in an otherwise crazy situation, i wonder what he was thinking as he stares off into the distance? and images like this as they prtray the destruction etc
Mr Ed, A visit today to Dunkirk shows quite a modern city which proves the amount of destructive that Dunkirk suffered at the nands of the German Artillery and Luftwaffe. Here's another good Indian BEF picture: Pre War Dunkirk-This shot was taken from the 'Watch Tower' by the harbour, it's still there today.

Andy, Great images on the Getty archive. I think that this one stands out to me as it is very well known and was perhaps the first picture I saw as a young boy of the Dunkirk evacuation. Regards Tom
Here the shot a used last year It's Rosendael Andy, Jan and I cycled there. I remember every cobble ! Here's a view from slightly to the left ! It is remarkable how little damage there is to the tower. Presumably bomb damage rather than artillery. The '34' on the Morris-Commercial with the white bar above indicates Corps troops and the senior machine gun battalion. I can't see a formation sign but if 2 corps then it would be 2nd Royal Northumberland Fusiliers who were attached to 4th Division. It is my understanding that they abandoned their vehicles further north so my guess is that this one was abandoned by 2nd Cheshires who were with 1st Division.
Hello Andy, As Rich just pointed out, we found this location: Some more "then and now" pictures: Here's a German tourist with a newly aquired BSA M20: Same place, 70 years later, with an English tourist (with a backache... The famous L'Adroit vessel: The Jean Bart statue: And the harbour: Jan
