British

BEF Line Company

 

~1940~

.

The Company represents one of the many small forces tasked with keeping the Germans from the corridor through which the main bulk of the British Expeditionary Force is retreating towards Dunkirk. It has already seen action, suffering some casualties, and has picked up all sorts of odds and sods on the way.

 

Note that the trucks that carry the supplies and wounded for the base infantry company are French: generously "donated" by our allies when our own were lost in action! In much the same way, the battalion mortar platoon has four rather than the usual two 3" mortars.
