![Evacuation of Dunkirk. In May 1940, after the Belgian resistance to the German invasion collapsed, the British Expeditionary Force was lifted from Dunkirk. Between 26th May and 4th June, 335,000 British and French troops were taken off the beaches by thousands of small British boats and warships, and transported to England under heavy air and artillery bombardment. On 30th May 1940 the French warship "Bourrasque" with 1,200 troops on board, struck a mine and sank. Survivors were picked up by another warship "Branlebas".

![Survivors of the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation reunited today to commemorate their remarkable escape from Hitler's armed forces. <br>62 members of the Dunkirk Veterans Association gathered at London's Imperial War Museum for what may be their last reunion. <br>Among them was Joe Barnes, thought to be the youngest Dunkirk veteran, who was just 14 when he joined the massive scramble to safety. <br>A fleet of naval and civilian ships helped rescue 338,000 Allied troops stranded along Dunkirk's beaches as the Germans continued their advances. <br>The veterans association disbands on 30 June after members make a final pilgrimage across the English Channel to Dunkirk, so it is thought that this year's evocative event may be the last. <br>The smallest vessel in the 1940 rescue fleet, the Margate fishing boat Tamzine, is on display at the Imperial War Museum. Veterans will met the great-great granddaughter of Leonard Brockman, the boat's builder, 10-year-old Tamzine, who was named after the boat. <br>Each veteran was presented with a 10-volume set of The Second World War, a collection of front-line accounts, by publishers Trident Press International. <br>Jim Horton, general secretary of the association, said: "The Imperial War Museum will be a chance to meet up with some of the local members again ahead of the final pilgrimage." <br>Prince Charles is due to take the salute of the veterans' final last march past on 4 June.<br>Mr Horton observed: "All our members are over 80, so we have decided to call it a day. <br>"We wanted to go out on a high, and you can't get much more high than having the pilgrimage with the future king coming to inspect us.
