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.

Small Vessels Pool,
Admiralty, S.W.1.
25th June 1940.
Dear Martineau,
I enclose a letter from Divine which gives
you some information about him. You see he is not even
getting T.124 pay now, and is more afraid of a hospital
bill than any enemy action.
Milner Gibson is now at Hamble, you could
get in touch with him, but I saw him last Friday and he
agress that Divine is worth a R.N.V.R. commission which
I think should be given him at once, so as to clear his
position in hospital.
I do hope you can do something to overcome
red tape as he will be very useful when well, and even if
not medically fit, can fulfil many R.N.V.R. jobs.
Yours sincerely,
Captain, R.N.
Commander Martineau,
Staff Officer, V.A. Dover,
Dover.
