Royal Mail (UK) 70th Anniversary of Dunkirk Evacuation

ROYAL MAIL (UK) in 2010 released a set of 12 stamps to mark the 70th anniversary of Operation Dynamo, or the evacuation of Dunkirk. The set called "Britain Alone" featured black and white images depicting Churchill reviewing troops, Land Girls, Home Guard, Evacuees,  Air Raid Wardens, Women in Factories, Royal Broadcast by Princesses' Elizabeth and Margaret, and Fire Service.

Additionally, four stamps showing the small boats aiding in rescue and evacuation are represented.

HERE is a video of the three siblings featured in one of the stamps 70 years later.

An accordion-fold explanatory leaflet with several photos was included in the Presentation Pack.
