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.

BOUNTY and Boat-work under Commodore Stephenson. E.R.A. A. Ferris, T.124. This rating was alone in the twin-diesel engineroom and although on du ty day and night and sick with the fumes was, with the greatest difficulty, persuaded finally to leave his post and take a rest and fresh air, when a stoker was found to relieve him for a short time. By his strong sense of duty and cheerful demeanour set an excellent example to those around him. Conspicuous under fire. Recommended for decoration. Signalman H. G. Hayes, C/JX. 140933. Ordinary Signalman W. A. Denny, TP/X.1790. Able Seaman E. Fenton. P/JX.145044. Besides their work in BOUNTY, from p.m. 31st May when the La Panne beach and piers were being heavily shelled, volunteers were called for to take in a whaler to bring off a final contingent of soldiers. These three young men came forward and returned to the beach again and again. They all were invariably to be found where work was difficult and dangerous. Recommended for decoration. H.M.Y.CARYANDA. Acting Petty Officer H. H. Smith, P/JX. 125648. Able Seaman T. W. Schofield, J.26827. Volunteered to man a small boat under fire, continuously ferrying troops.
