Report of R.A. wake walker on the wasuation
Ann Dunkint 29 may June. 1940
3rd June (cont.) 2300. Grounded when going alongside middle pier of Avant port at Dunkirk. Tug was
286
ordered from ashore but did not arrive. The schoot
"BORNRIFF" and a British drifter endeavoured to tow
3/6
off but without success.
289
4th June. On being informed that no further embarkations could take place after daylight and it then being about two hours after high water I decided at 0145 to send the crew to a British drifter astern. The first party embarked on her, the second party in a French drifter and the remainder including Lieutenant Morton, R.N.V.R. 107
the 1st Lieutenant and myself to a lifeboat ferrying to
H.M.S.LOCUST outside the harbour. The British drifter and the Locust landed their parties at Dover, from where I reported to the N.O.I.C. at Ramsgate. The remainder of the crew were landed by the French drifter at Ramsgate, and the crew returned to Chatham complete at 1615. I consider the "LENA" of little use to the enemy apart from the six tons of Diesel oil onboard, as her screw hit an obstruction when going astern.
I would mention L.M.W. GIBB, Leading Seaman
O.N. D.J. 64311, the coxswain, for his untiring work during the embarkations, and attention to the troops comfort aboard as far as was possible under the circumstances.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
