Withdrawal from Somaliland (1940 British Navy)

British forces temporarily withdraw from Somaliland after coming under attack from the Italian forces in Southern Somalia.  Filmed by Alec Tozer of Movietone in 1940.

Lulu Farah's curator insight, May 8, 1:06 PM

Somaliland is missing the whole British Archive as the library of Somaliland has been burned by Siad Barre's regime. It is lovely to see these pictures and the history of British Somaliland archived for the world to share.
