the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk, 1940. It is a map of the Calais area and has many plotted coordinates on it from field use.
Doddaddy,
Your Dunkirk map is quite a find. I have never studied the Dunkirk evacuation in great detail. I was looking at your map and I assume the city to the northern edge is Dunkirk. Oh! Wait. That must be Calais, as that is the name at the top of the map.
It appears from the markings that they disembarked from the beaches along the center of the map, and maybe as far south as that point. Do you know much about the history and where they were picked up??
Wow! By June 1944, that beach would be covered with bunkers for the Atlantic Wall.
