Summary:
Description: After having walked nine kilometres in the rain from Dunkirk, heavily-laden refugees pass a checkpoint in 'no man's land' manned by troops of the 7th Battalion Black Watch. They then make their way into Grande Mille Brugghe where a Red Cross reception centre with soup kitchen and transport await them. Two French Red Cross cars come up the road out of Dunkirk carrying hospital patients and those too frail to make the journey out of the German-held port. At the reception centre, men serving with the Black Watch and FFI volunteers help refugees climb aboard lorries. A young girl receives two bowls of soup at the kitchen which she takes to elderly relatives.
