would reach England;
yet he was prepared to give up his chance of getting away in order to tend his wounded comrades. He remained in
H.M.S.Bideford after H.M. S.Kellett had proceeded, and was of the greatest possible help to our Surgeon. Crowder carried out his voluntary duties for all but forty eight hours continuously, in a most efficient manner. I consider this man showed a great sense of duty and displayed great personal courage in his decision to remain onboard. I wish to recommend him as being worthy of consideration for a decoration.
6.The following men of this ship are recommended for their services. They are placed in order of merit.
I.S.P.O. Charles William Donnelly. D/K.59925.
A/Ck. Albert Victor HOCKING. D/MX.58549.
When the ship was bombed everyone aft was killed or badly wounded, except these two men. S.P.O.
Donnelly's duty was "in charge of the after fire and repair party". Hocking formed one of the "First Aid Party".
The fire main aft wasblown away, and fire brue out in the cabin flat immediately above the after magazine.
These two men working entirely on their own, ran hoses aft from the first sound connection, and succeeded in getting the fire under sontrol, and hoses down the after magazine hatch to flood the magazine, (the magazine flooding arrangements were destroyed) and partly flooded it before assistance came, I consider their very prompt and efficient action probably saved the ship, and I consider them both worthy of consideration for the Distinguished Service Medal.
II. Iconsider the following three nen worthy of being
"mentioned in despatches" for the services set forth against their names.
(a) Signalman Charles Raymond CRAIG.D/JX.141848.
He was landed with Lieutenant Davey, when that officer landesto organise the embarkation on the beach. Craig joined one of the embarkation posts, took charge of the signalling apparatus and got into communication with several ships. When the station was destroyed by bombing, Craig improvised a signal lamp out of the head light of a lorry, and used this till the battery ran down. He remained ashore all night and was eventually sent off by the embarkation officer.
On arrival at Dover he volunteered immediately to go over to
Dunkirk Pier, where signalmen were required, and spent another night there.
(b) P.O.Tel. Frederick PERRY. D/JX. 127240.
After the main mast and all aerials were destroyed this man succeeded in rigging a jury aerial and getting through an importatnt signal to the Vice Admiral, Dover.
(c) AB. Leslie Kenneth FOSTER. D/J.108109.
This man was quartermaster throughout the time the ship was in Dunkeerke Rade. He performed his duties in a most efficient manner. After the stern was blown off and there was

Joined Manxman at Igoo. This ship was extremely dirty and there vas & most disagesable air of aprehension amongst the ships company. Since the commencement of the evacuation It appears that the officers and ships company had been reluctant to sail to Dunkirk and were continually walking off. (Vide report of Surgeon Lieut.
Stutter RNVR.). The Medical party carried on with their preparations and did their utmost to instill better feeling amonst the officers and men of the Manamen.
Part of the officers and ships company had to be releived for 24 hours but before they left the ship they had succeeded in infections their successors with their aprehension etc. The cabins were left looked up, with senttles open and lights switched on throughout the ship+ the keys could not be found and it was necessary for the first aid party to break into "heads" and several cabins in order to closs the deadlights and scuttles etc.

GENERAL REMARKS.
3
No words of mine can have the power to describe how efficiently the personnel carried out their jobs under very trying and arduous conditions. Each one went about his task quietly and efficiently, and the manner in which they made the necessary arrangements did much to counter the apprehension which was marked in the ships companies towards the end of the period. Their bearing must of necessity had a most benificial result upon the morale of the various ships in which they were working. There was very little to choose between the ratings of the contingent - but L.S.B.A. WRIGHT AND
LOCKWOOD are worthy of special note, Whenever volunteers were called for these ratings were always the first to orier themselves.
Everyone was tireless and cheerful. During the continued aircraft attacks and shelling the treatment of patients was as if there was nothing of interest happening outside the Sick Bay
Quarters. Immediately after the collision between "St Hilier" and
"Sharpshooter" (30.5.40) the stretcher cases were brought on deck and kept in sheletered positions. This was not an easy manoeuvre with a blacked out ship, overcrowded with tired French troops, who lay in all gangways and who did not understand English, and with the ship listing heavily, and with planes overhead during the whole proceeding.
Upon the separation of the ships these cases had to be replaced below.
Upon arrival in a ship due to sail for Dunkirk arrangements had to be made for reception of casualties, dressings and lotions to be prepared, blankets, hot water bottles mustered and available members of ships staff instructed in first aid. A cheerful atmosphere had "maintained. Very little sleep was possible throughout the the week. After evacuation of patients at Dover and Folkestone, stores had to be remustered and sick quarters cleared in case of a further trip.
The bearing of the troops - British and French -
will be forgotten by anyone who was prèvalidged to behold it.

Cluston, however, shortly abandoned the swim and returned to cling to the remains of the wreck.

Friday 7th June, 1940.
Sir, g
I have the honour to submit the following account of my movements from Tuesday 28th May until Wednesday 5th June.
On my arrival at Sheerness I found a convoy of sixteen motor boats being prepared to assist in the evacuation of Flanders.
I took charge of a small boat "LIEBESTRAUM" and we proceeded for Dover towing whalers, at about 1730 on Tuesday.
About six miles outside Sheerness we broke down and were picked up by the Trawler "ASAMA" who towed us to Deal and then back to
Ramsgate where we arrived on Wednesday morning.
At Ramsgate I reported on the state of my boat and was appointed to the Dutch sel boat "JOHANNA" which had a diesel engine and was capable of about 6 knots. The crew consisted of a Leading
Hand and four ratings and three Dutchmen, who owned the boat and could not speak English. We set out in convoy that night with a
Motor boat under the Command of a Lieutenant Commander and/other eel boat commanded by Sub-Lieutenant T.K.Edge-Partington R.N.
Finding the second eel boat only capable of 4 knots the motor boat left her behind and soon after left me. I had no charts so after casting around for a bit I secured alongside a ship, the name of which I did not find out, near the North Goodwin and stayed there for the night. Sub.Lt.Edge-Partington in the 'Chanticler' with great determination took his boat across, navigating by an extremely faulty compass and managed to bring troops back to Dover.
The next morning, Thursday, I returned to Ramsgate and succeeded in joining up with the Dutch Schoot "Jutland" who towed me that evening. We had an uneventful crossing and anchored across about two miles east of Dunkirk at 2330. The Cutter and
Whaler went ashore. The Whaler returned to report that the cutter was I volunteered to the Captain of the Schoot to go and see aground. what I could do but before we had got back the Petty Officer had succeeded in floating the boat.
I could By boats within 100 yards of the shore because this time the beach was swarming with French soldiers of the shallowness not get my of the water. I summoned my limited store of French to aid and with cries of "En Avant mes heros" and "Courage mea enfants" my tried to tempt them into the water.

A.L.C. 15 was the second boat to be hoisted out from Clan Macalister, and proceeded directly in shore embarking British troops from the vicinity of Old Dunkirk.
Fifteen trips were carried out during the day, and at
2000 approximately, as no ships were in the vioinity to accommodate troops, she set off for Dover, with troops aboard. Shortly after passing Dunkirk she fall in with
A.L.C. 3 and 8. These three A.L.C. reached Dover at dawn on Thursday May 30th.

like to place on record the excellent work of the Ramsgate
ARP personnel and St. John's ambulance brigade, who worked untiringly. The superintendent of the ARP
organisation was most helpful and never refused any request in rooviding adequate transport at any time.
Vessels on being berthed were cleared of troops before the wounded were attended to
Stretchers of the army pattern were plentiful, but under the exceptional circumstances it was found that the need for the Naval pattern stretchers Neil Robertsons in greater numbers was urgent.
I have been particularly concerned with the severe nature of wounds from bomb and gun blast especially at the number of bone fractures of the thigh and leg, both simple and compound, and I would suggest the provision of Thomas splints as a first aid necessity. Many cases of this nature have been encountered and the shock of moving such cases from confined areas of ships was very great, accompanied as it has been in many asses by the effects of prolonged immersion in the water. Many other severe mutilations were met with. At the height of the emergency the P M 0 Dover sent two Naval
Surgeons to the Base, one was despatched to Margate,

with stores and first aid material. The presence of these two officers was a great help as it enabled a medical officer to proceed to sea, and make nearer contact with wounded in ships which hadbroken down or which could not make the harbour owing to various contingencies.
Large numbers of military wounded were dealt with at the base and were removed direct by military ambulance to unascertained destinations.
With regard to naval and mercantile marine personnel. Two naval ambulances carried approximately
TO
32 cases to R N H Chatham. amongst these were the wounded from H M S Gula. Twenty sailors R N, 4 French sailors and 7 unknown were sent to Ramsgate Hospital. Six sailors R N, 2 MM and 1 French sailor were sent to the
