Dunkirk Memorial

The Dunkirk Memorial is a monument in France honoring British and Allied soldiers who fought and died during the Dunkirk evacuation in World War II. It commemorates approximately 1,400 service members who lost their lives or went missing during the rescue mission in 1940, when hundreds of thousands of troops were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk to safety across the English Channel. The memorial serves as a tribute to their sacrifice and the collective effort that symbolized resilience and cooperation during a critical moment of the war.
