On this day 1940 @RoyalNavy destroyer HMS Shikari sailed from #Dunkirk at 0340 - the last Allied warship to do so.
Almost simultaneously HMS Vindictive arrived at Harstad to begin the evacuation of Norway. Check out #DunkirkAndTheLittleShips for more #WW2 https://t.co/miJGUbOgCE

During 1940 the German army swept with devastating speed into northern France and drove Allied forces back into a small pocket around #Dunkirk

#OTD in 1940 Operation Dynamo began to evacuate soldiers

#WorldBookDay As a boy growing up in Birkenhead, there was a shop in Oxton Rd that sold @ShireBooks . I lived them then, and live them now. I’m so pleased to have added to their legacy.
