Proclamation of General Charles de Gaulle to the French people, 18 June, 1940, from London.  Many French people were slow to respond - including a substantial number of French servicemen evacuated at Dunkirk, who demanded that they be returned to France.  In the end, however, in spite of all, the Free French were victorious (am I paraphrasing something ?  No - surely not ...).  Best regards, JR.

18 June, 1940.

The Quacxis of evil.

Book of humorous articles and related cartoons by Basil Boothroyd from "Punch" magazine about the Local Defence Volunteers/Home Guard, published 1941.  Clearly, "Dad's Army" humour went back almost to Day One ... Best regards, JR.
