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.

706	Log in to enlarge	501470 1 Sick Quarters at Ramsgate 4 SION HILL June 7th 19 40 To NAVAL OF FICER IN CHARGE RAMSGATE Submitted Report on the Medical Organisation at Ramsgate Naval Base during the evacuation of the B.E.F. from the French coast. In such an emergency a basis of procedure had to be rapidly improvised and modified according to circumstances. Collaboration between the Naval. medical personnel and the RAMC was essential and after the first day was found to be working smoothly and efficiently. The suggestion that the floor of the Merrie England base should be used as & Clearing Station was supported by the NOIC, and traffic from the eastern pier head ATO was so organised. Very little delay was found in rapidly clearing the wounded from ships as they berthed. tels Smaller boats were dealt with at the Dover steps further down. A naval and military doctor was always available at the pier head for some time before and after high led tide at which time many of the larger vessels entered the harbour. A pier head rallying point was established for medical personnel, and here stocks of dressings, stretchers and medical essentials were kept. Transport in the form of ambulances Military, ARP, and St.John's was always available and ample.
