The 156th Section of magnetic minesweepers,
comprised the two wooden trawlers Ste. Elisabeth
(A.D.385), and La Jeannine (A. D. 386)
On 25th May (?) (1) the La Jeannine was destroyed
by fire in Dunkirk harbour, as the result of an air
raid. The 156th Section was then reconstituted by
the addition of the La Majo.
On 29th May (?)(1) the La Majo was destroyed
by a bomb.
After the loss of the La Majo the section
was reconstituted with the Ste. Bernadette de Lourdes.

The ship had barely rounded No. 5 buoy, off Mardyck, and entered
channel (Route X) when a formation of enemy dive bombers came out of the
cloud and peeled off to attack. One bomb, estimated at 200 pounds, exploded a
very close on the starboard quarter, causing severe damage and a number of
casualties. The ship began to settle at once, took a heavy list, and in five
minutes filled and sank on an even keel in about 5 fathoms of water. The
crew worked quickly and intelligently in getting life rafts and floating material
over the side, and the French troops, despite the language difficulty, behaved
steadily and intelligently though nearly half of them were killed by the explosion
or drowned. The minesweeper Saltash was quickly alongside, rescued some
400 survivors, and landed them safely at Margate.
The main attack of the enemy formation was directed against the personnel
ship Scotia (3,500 tons) which had left Dunkirk carrying 2,000 French troops
very shortly after the Brighton Queen, and was now only 2 cables distant on
her port bow. The enemy attacked in sections of 4 aircraft, two each with
machine guns and bombs of small size. At least 4 of the latter hit the ship,
which began to sink by the stern, and the order to abandon her was given.
The Scotia heeled over until her forward funnel and mast were in the water.
The enemy now made another attack on the sinking vessel, dropping 4 more
bombs and machine gunning the men swimming and clinging to the wreckage.
By this time, however, the destroyer Esk had come out from Dunkirk and drove
off the enemy aircraft when they returned yet again. The destroyer put herself
alongside the sinking Scotia and transferred nearly 1,000 of the troops, a fine
feat, and the destroyer Worcester and other craft picked up several; but 28 of
the Scotia's crew and an estimated 200 to 300 of the French troops were un-
fortunately lost.

There was no movement in the port. Later Admiral
was in the hands of the enemy, but they had not
advanced beyond. Further attacks were expected by the French this day,
when the situation regarding munitions might become critical.
Sailing of the night flight from England
The movement from England towards Dunkirk commenced at 1700. The
armada consisted of 13 personnel vessels, 2 large store carriers, 11 destroyers,
5 paddle minesweepers, 9 fleet sweepers, 1 special service vessel, 9 drifters,
6 skoots, 2 armed yachts, 1 gunboat, a large number of tugs, lifeboats, etc.,
formed either in organised tows or proceeding individually. For various
reasons, however, not all of these ships evacuated troops.¹
The composition of the French contingent was not known at Dover. Actually,
3 French torpedo boats, two minesweeping trawlers, two patrol vessels, and
17 trawlers and motor fishing vessels landed troops in England on the 3rd June.
One Belgian patrol boat and 16 or 17 trawlers brought troops.
B.E.F. evacuated, 2330/2
The first destroyers to reach Dunkirk were the Sabre and Shikari, which
sailed together from Dover at 1845. As the latter ship rounded No. 6 W buoy
enemy shore batteries opened fire, but caused no damage. Berthing was
carried out by an officer with a loud speaker at the pier head. Both destroyers
sailed again at 2200, the Sabre with 500 and the Shikari with 700 troops. The
