A French soldier is shown having dressed in British uniform to escape France. In reality he would not have needed to, as French troops would be embarking at the second mole to re-deploy to the South, and a decree by Winston Churchill later in the evacuation ordered an equal number of French soldiers be brought back to England at the risk of British soldiers being left behind. Ultimately, of the 338,000 soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk around 123,000 were French. However, a 'little ship' crew member recalls seeing French soldiers taking the uniforms off of dead British soldiers and wearing them, hoping for evacuation.
