Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel.
Dutch Skoot H.M.S. BRANDARIS &c. (Continued).
In the majority of these voyages was under constant bombing and machine gun attack, as also when in
Dunkirk harbour and lying off the beaches. This officer worked unceasingly without rest throughout the 9 days of the operation, with conspicuous success.
Recommended for mention.
Dutch Skoot H.M.S. DOGGERSBANK - Lieutenant Donald Terry
McBarnet, R.N.
This vessel remained off the Flanders coast for a greater period than the other skoots, and whilst under incessant attack from the air succeeded in recovering from the beach and from Dunkirk harbour more than
1,500 troops.
Recommendations.
OFFICER.
Lieutenant Donald Terry McBarnet, R.N.
Displayed exceptional initiative and pertinacity in a variety of difficult circumstances off Bray beach, in Dunkirk harbour and Dunkirk beach. When necessary grounded his ship on the beach and devised many ingenious and seamanlike methods of taking off troops from the beach by means of life rafts, abandoned life-boats and other craft which came to hand, normal boat work being impossible with his small crew. At all times undeterred and undismayed by frequent air attacks to which his vessel and boats were subjected.
Recommended for deocration.
RATING.
Engine Room Artificer, 4th Class, Eric Matthew Horne, MX.62572.
In charge of the engine room department of
DOGGERSBANK. Took over the engines from Dutch engineer who spoke no English, and succeeded in keeping the engines running perfectly throughout the 10 days of the operations.
In addition to engine room duties, generally assisted the Commanding Officer at all times in work outside the department, assisting in the operation. Behaviour under fire was exemplary.
Recommended for decoration.
