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.

2nd June. At 6.30 p.m. received orders to return to
Dunkirk with H.M. Schoot Tilly and be off the beach
East of harbour at midnight, so proceeded at once
on 15X route. On arrival scanned the beach but
could see no sign of troops or boats and as we had
lost contact with M/Y See Roamer, who was our tender,
we proceeded into the harbour which was full of war
vessels and troopships. The were then told to get
out of the harbour by an N.T.B. as no troops were
coming down the piers, so lay just outside West
Pier until ordered to proceed back to Ramsgate by
Hallo Destroyer laying off entrance.
3rd June. Arrived back Ramsgate 8 Selle On this voyage
we were subjected to shelling off the East beach
and in the channel on leaving.
I cannot speak too highly of the excellent
behaviour of the ship's company on all occasions, in
their untiring efforts to make the troops comfortable
the prompt way they darried out their duties and
with hot tea and food under most cramped and
difficult conditions.
