(FILES) - Photo taken on June 1940 shows
(FILES) - Photo taken on June 1940 shows soldiers evacuated from a Dunkirk beach, northern France, as the allied troops evacuate northern France and Belgium following the German Blitzkrieg. A flotilla set sail from southern England on May 27, 2010 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation, when a ragtag band of "little ships" rescued stranded Allied soldiers from northern France. About 60 ships were making the journey across the North Sea from Ramsgate to Dunkirk, where a ceremony will be held for World War II veterans. About 338,000 soldiers were rescued from the beaches of northern France during Operation Dynamo between May 27 and June 4, 1940, after becoming trapped by the advancing German army.
