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.

After my return from G.H.Q. on the 31st May
I was closely associated with General Alexander who
remained in command of British Troops. He was a tower
of strength and delightful to work with at a very
difficult time when it did not seem probable that we should
succeed in getting away the last of the British Expedition-
ary Force. t1though my report does not make it clear,
all signals from S.N.O. Dunkirk referring to military
matters were made with his concurrence and approval.
He finally left Dunkirk with idmiral Wake-Walker
