Troops in France performing labour duties and undergoing training

[Although they all participated in the Battle of France, these three divisions were not adequately prepared to fight in May 1940. Each one had no artillery, only a skeletal divisional HQ, and few support units. Only a third of the battalions had had even the most minimal of training, and each battalion lacked the carrier platoon and the full complement of heavy weapons (machine guns {Partially}, antitank rifles, and mortars) found in active British infantry battalions.]
