Dunkirk and subsequently, working in conjunction with a flotilla of small boats at La Panne, was largely responsible for the embarkation under difficulties of 5,000 troops in some 12 hours.
During heavy bomb attack rescued a large number of survivors from KEITH, including 2 British and one
French general officers. Followed this up by rescuing nearly all the survivors of the SKIPJACK.
On the voyage to United Kingdom similarly rescued survivors from the personnel vessel SCOTIA which had been bombed and sunk, only leaving the scene when other vessels appeared and his own craft was dangerously overloaded. Returning to Dunkirk,a further number of troops were taken off the beach, during which time he was bombed and intermittently shelled.
