Some soldiers could get to the ships in small boats

On the beaches the engineer units built jetties out of abandoned trucks so that troops could clamber out to the
boats. Huge lines were formed on the beaches when ships were available for embarkation.

• The small boats negotiated the shallow waters off La Panne on the French-Belgian border, where no deep draught ships could approach and extracted the brave exhausted British Expeditionary Force, the French Army and a few thousand troops of the Belgian Army from the beaches of Dunkirk.

• It was originally hoped that up to 45,000 men might be rescued. The actual total came to 338,226 men. The Royal Navy lost six destroyers, 24 small warships. Over 70 of the "Little ships" were lost too.
• Poem about the Sarah P - one of the 700 private boats that joined the rescue
