A note about image and OCR quality

Every reasonable effort has been made to present these document images as flat, straight and accurately cropped as possible. Historical records can be difficult to photograph or scan because of tight bindings, deep gutters, page curvature, folds, creases, fragile paper, uneven edges, shadows, glare, skewed pages, fading, stains, tears, attachments and restrictions on how a document may be handled. These conditions can distort parts of an image and consequently affect the OCR transcription.

Considerable post-production work has been undertaken to crop, align, flatten and enhance the images where practicable, but the results represent our best effort rather than exact facsimiles. Text showing through from the reverse of a page, printed backgrounds, stamps, ruled lines, marks and text visible from neighbouring pages may confuse or spoil OCR output. Handwriting is not reliably recognised and, in most places, may be missing, incomplete or incorrectly transcribed. Always check the page image and, where accuracy matters, consult the original record held by the identified archive.

OCR is not a transcription. It is machine-generated text used to create research tags and help locate names and references within the source images; it should not be read as a verified narrative.

I am having some enquiries made at Dover and the Nore, but this is the first we have heard of it at the Admiralty so that it looks as if Lt.Jordan's report had miscarried. The decorations given to some of GAVA's" crew were for saving certain rench seamen. This action formed the subject of a separate report and th act that it was considered does not ean that a report on these trawlers' eneral service in the Dunkirk operaions was also before us.

21st December, 1940.
y dear Dobson,
Thank you for your letter F.G.B.
28 of the 11th December, about the
Pleetwood trawlers at Dunkirk. I am
having some enquiries made at Dover
and the Nore, but this is the first we
have heard of it at the Admiralty so
that it looks as if Lt.Jordan's report
had miscarried.
The decorations given to some of
GAVA's" crew were for saving certain
rench seamen. This action formed
the subject of a separate report and th
act that it was considered does not
ean that a report on these trawlers'
eneral service in the Dunkirk opera-
ions was also before us.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) R. GLEADOWN
