11. Source D – from a broadcast by the popular playwright and broadcaster J.B Priestley 5 th June 1940, the day after the Dunkirk evacuation ended. Among those paddle steamers that will never return was one I knew well, for it was the pride of our ferry service to the Isle of Wight.....And now never again will we board at Cowes. She has paddled and churched away forever. But now- look this little steamer, like all her brave and battered sisters, is immortal. She will go sailing proudly down the years in the epic of Dunkirk. And our great grandchildren, when they learn how we began this war by snatching glory out of defeat, then swept on to victory, may also learn how the little holiday steamers made an excursion to hell and came back glorious. What can you learn from Source D about the Dunkirk evacuation? Try to make at least two inferences, supported from the source. Lesson 3
