This print captures the bravery and resilience of a British infantry regiment during a crucial stage in the German advance on the Somme. Cut off from their main forces, these courageous soldiers took matters into their own hands by commandeering vehicles and forming a motorized unit to confront the enemy head-on. For five consecutive days, they relentlessly engaged with great success. In this snapshot from June 1940, we witness these valiant men traversing the country in their lorries, ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
