| Description | French reservists enjoying lunch in London, September 1939 |
| Details |
French reservists enjoying their lunch and wine under the cover of the trees of Bedford Square as they wait to register for service. The Sphere comments that "each man had previously been warned to bring his midday rations", suggesting there was a great response to this first call for reservist troops, just after the outbreak of war.
