Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel.
H.M.S. ESK. - Lieutenant-Commander Richard John Hullis Couch, R.N.
ESK made 6 trips, 3 being to Bray beach, during the period 28th May - 3rd June, and brought to Dover about
4500 troops. On the 31st May, off Bray, she was forced, by shell fire from shore batteries, to move westward along the beach, ESK being holed in several places and having one oil fuel tank pierced. She was also subjected to bombing attacks on passage back to Dover, but avoided damage by the use of speed and zig-zagging. On the 1st June she again avoided damage off the entrance to Dunkirk by circling at
20 knots and when attacked later whilst taking survivors off
S.S. SCOTIA she drove off two bombers by the fire of 'B' and
'X' guns.

Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel.
NAVAL MEDICAL PARTIES.
Naval Medical Officers and ratings were drafted from
H.M.S. PEMBROKE for work in Dunkirk harbour and in the larger personnel vessels on the 29th of May and 4th June.
The work carried out by the whole party was most valuable and efficient, consisting as it did of treating casualties, and operating where possible under exciting and adverse circumstances calling for initiative and improvisation.
It happened that the Medical party sent to personnel vessels voyaged in those whose civilian crews were showing signs of loss of morale, there being a disagreeable air of apprehension amongst the ship's companies. These Medical parties in the midst of their preparations did their utmost to instil better feeling amongst the officers and men of these vessels. Their conduct in all cases was in accordance with the highest traditions of the Serivce and their profession.
Recommendations.
OFFICER.
Surgeon-Commander William Gordon Fitzpatrick. R.N.
With his party worked on Dunkirk Mole, in the
ST. HELIER, MAID OF ORLEANS, MANX MAN and the
PRINCESS MAUD on successive days. He was the
Senior Medical Officer of the whole party from
PEMBROKE and showed high organising abilities and leadership, in adition to his efficient personal treatment of casualties.

OFFICERS:
Captain William Vesey Hamilton Harris, M.V.O., D.S.C.,R.N. (Retd.)
This officer was solely responsible for the organisation of the minesweeping vessels which took part in the operation. These ships not only evacuated troops from Dunkirk but also maintained routine sweeps under most difficult circumstances. By his cheerful leadership and tireless efforts, this officer was able to maintain his entire force at my disposal, and thereby contributed largely to the success of the enterprise.
Recommended for mention.
Commodore John Stewart Gordon Fraser, D.S.O., R.N. (Retd.).
For tireless zeal, energy and good judgment in dealing with the largely increased demand for repair and maintenance arrangements of the Port during the operation

For exceptional zeal and devotion to duty. This officer, as King's Harbour Master, had to control and berth large numbers of ships, transports, skoots, and small vessela, and direct their movements for the purposes of repairs, fuelling, coaling, etc. To do this Commander Lambert was almost continuously on duty day and night throughout the operation, and his untiring efforts contributed materially to the success of the enterprise.
Recommended for decoration.
Lieutenant Commander (E) Weston Smith. R.N.
This officer worked throughout the operation with exceptional and tireless energy and enthusiasm when in charge of repairs and making good damage caused to ships and boats.
