16 May 1940 - Code Word "SCRAM" Issued as Germans Advance

The rapid German advance is causing chaos and confusion behind the Allied lines.  The Code word "SCRAM" is issued resulting in the rapid evacuation of the 157th HAA Battery from their positions on the airfields of the AASF.  The use of the word "SCRAM" as an order to evacuate just adds to the sense of panic and chaos ensued.

This post is made even more interesting by the comments provided from another member of the 157th HAA Battery for which I am very grateful.
