EDITORS COMMENTS
Through an Inferno of Bombs and Shells: The Epic Evacuation of Dunkirk as Recorded on the Front Page of the Daily Express, May 31, 1940 The front cover of the Daily Express dated May 31, 1940, bears witness to one of the most remarkable chapters in World War II history: the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from Dunkirk. The headline, "Through an inferno of bombs and shells, the B.E.F is crossing the Channel from Dunkirk-in history's strangest armada," encapsulates the heroic efforts to save tens of thousands of soldiers from the clutches of the advancing German forces. The image on the front page shows the chaos and desperation of the evacuation, with soldiers and civilians alike scrambling aboard every available vessel to make their way across the English Channel. The caption below the photograph records the progress of the evacuation, with "tens of thousands already safely home" and "many more coming by day and night." The front page also includes other significant news items of the time. Blackout times are listed to ensure the safety of the population during air raids, and the departure of the beloved British entertainer Gracie Fields to America is noted. This poignant snapshot of history serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience of the British people during a time of great adversity. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past and provides a powerful reminder of the events that shaped the course of World War II.
