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.

Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of 1st September, I can only regret that you were misinformed, since no award was made to you in connection with your services on the Belgian and French Coasts. You are quite correct in saying that a mistake was made in announcing that C.P.O. Telegraphists Amos and Bloyce served in the "Mona's Queen"; they were employed on shore at Calais and Boulogne. I have asked that a correction may be promulgated. Yours faithfully, VICE ADMIRAL.	Ben-my-Chree London Queen Ambler AMBLER H. Amos Dover May
