The well-designed Mémorial du Souvenir is a war museum and memorial in Dunkirk, commemorating the Battle of Dunkirk and Operation Dynamo. Various exhibits can be seen, such as aircraft engines, uniforms and weapons, and there are also great display boards with texts and pictures. The museum is housed in Bastion 32 of Dunkirk's 1874 coastal fortifications on Rue des Chantiers de France. The bastion served as the headquarters for French and British allied troops during the Battle of Dunkirk in May and June 1940 during World War II.
