"It's not talked about much in England and until our visit we had no idea about the events of 11 & 12 June 1940, until a vintage postcard took us up a deserted track for an unclear match through the trees to the town below.

I liked Bill N's link, as it is a topic much overlooked and much info there. The evacuations well after Dunkirk and still quite sizeable.

'Dunkirk' is not a helpful reference as St Valery en Caux is a 100 miles or so south of Dunkirk.
