A collection of artefacts from the HMS Medway Queen, one of the boats involved in the Dunkirk evacuation is to auction at Bonhams.
The lot will appear in the World War II 70th Anniversary Sale in New York on April 29.
 The HMS Medway Queen travelled to and from Dunkirk three times during the evacuation |
Also known as the Miracle at Dunkirk, the evacuation saw thousands of Allied troops rescued from the French town by a flotilla of boats (including pleasure craft) after becoming surrounded by German troops.
The Medway Queen made three trips back and forth and earned the nickname "the Heroine of Dunkirk".
The lot includes her compass and the ensign flown during the mission. It has a $5,000 high estimate.
The sale will also feature an Enola Gay flightlog and a contraband radio built by British POWs.
