Ypres, Belgium, 27th May 1940: On this the eighteenth day of the campaign, the Germans were beginning to tighten the noose around the Allied armies pocketed at Dunkerque. Here near Ypres, scene of vicious fighting during the First World War, German Infantry were once again on the move, this time threatening to cut off the Franco-British units holding in the Lille-Douai salient. The weary men of the British 5th and 50th Divisions were up to the task and determined to make a stand on the "Thin Blue Line" represented by the Ypres-Comines canal. [Size small]
