Sorry Tim, you did say. Actually, America's most decorated soldier of the Second World War. 'Red Badge of Courage' is of course John Huston's mangled (by the studio) version of the great Stephen Crane novel.
OK, back to the UK
Where is this, what is happening, and why?
Cheers

Telfers Pies being given to troops returning from Dunkirk by the WVS.
Dunkirk and WVS are correct, but where is it, and why there....

Possibly Redhill as it was a junction that connected with lines to Aldershot.
Not Redhill, there’s still a bit of a clue on the sign......the station had a specific role....

Headcorn or Robertsbridge Junction.
Wow, like buses three came along at once....Peter gets the big fish though....a couple of other shots for info....
WVS on 24/7 sandwich making duties....
Catering corps on tea making duties....
This was more incredible than the “little ships”. Over the period of the evacuation the railways transported 350,000 troops and 50,000 evacuated children. 650 trains were used, with no derailments or failures, and all train movements were by word of mouth as no plan existed.
