On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month... This one - TopicsExpress



          

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month... This one goes how out to my relatives many years ago who served during the Second World War, and notably the British evacuation from Dunkirk. The Miracle of Dunkirk involved the successful withdrawal of over 300,000 men after being cut off by Nazi forces in northern France with the help of a hastily assembled fleet of about 800 ships that involved destroyers from the Navy, all the way down to brave fishermen who volunteered to cross the Channel. There are few instances in history that better exemplify a whole scale, nationwide effort to save lives and live to fight another day.
