Research summary for source page 299. The page concerns Escaut (.15). The factual index links this page to the vessels Boat and Escaut. Indexed surnames include Dover. The indexed activity is dated 28 May, 29 May, 30 May, 31 May, 1 June, 2 June and 3 June. Places identified in the OCR-derived metadata include Dunkirk and Dover. The page appears to record that the subject towed or assisted another craft, was exposed to enemy action and operated in convoy or with other vessels. OCR-derived troop figures mentioned on the page include 400; these figures may be approximate or affected by OCR error. The page appears to compare or qualify different accounts, so participation, sequence or figures may be disputed rather than established. It discusses the operational routing system, including Route , and changes made in response to coastal gunfire, minesweeping or passage distance. This is an independently generated discovery note based on factual signals extracted from OCR, not a transcription or reproduction of the source wording; consult the original record before relying on it.
