Soldiers arrive home by train, offered cigarettes and tea by civilians on the platform. A boy reads the Churchill speech from a newspaper -- the nation learning what happened across the Channel.
Weymouth was one of several south coast ports used to disembark survivors of the Dunkirk evacuation. Troop trains distributed the men across Britain. The public reception ranged from relief to the quiet shame many soldiers felt at leaving France without fighting through.
