Poignant film as my uncle Manus McGinty, Boy 1st Class was killed on May 4th 1940, aboard the HMS Afridi as she was resuing men from other stricken ships. He was 18. Body never recovered.
Holy cow, Skoblin, this is one of the best newsreels period that you have uploaded. (Problem with the British is the lack of imagination in terms of matial background music. The Wochenschau's are a lot better.
