How Teddington's "Little Ships" / helped win the Second World War / In the Spring of 1940, allied troops / were trapped between the German advance / and the sea at Dunkirk in northern France. / The evacuation of those troops, "Operation Dynamo", / was helped by private boats which crossed / the Channel and, whilst under constant attack / from the Luftwaffe, ferried men from / the shallow beaches to larger ships offshore. / Douglas Tough assembled 100 of these "Little Ships" / at Tough Brothers' boatyard / which once stood opposite this plaque. / During the 10-day operation they helped in / the rescue of 338,226 British and French troops / who were saved to fight another day. / Wartime leader Winston Churchill called this / "A miracle of deliverance".
