    The Dunkirk evacuation represented massive losses in materials and equipment for the British army. In this article we are going to take a look at the amount of equipment that was left in France, the amount of equipment remaining in the United Kingdom and the ability of the United Kingdoms industry to replace the losses suffered.
    Below is a list of the artillery lost in France.

    That whole site is interesting Ray. Just went into my bookmarks for further examination. Looks to be helpful for learning about British equipment in WW2 generally. Thanks.

    Thanks for the link Ray, I too have bookmarked it for later. Just a cursory look and I know it will take some time to put it all into perspective.
