I also discussed with the Brigadier, the need for ensuring that troops would be properly fallen in when the final evacuation took place to prevent so far as possible an almost inevitable ugly rush, but nothing definite could be fixed up in this matter pending the promulgation of the final plan not then received.
I learnt that the Brench final evacuation was expected to take place on Friday, completing on Friday night, in view of the closing in of the enemy and as soon as I had specific instructions that my beach parties were not to be taken prisoner and in order, for psycholigical reasons, to avoid the undesirability of the Naval personnel embarking to the possible exclusion of Military personnel (even if they could do so), I left instructions that half of the personnel were to embark between midnight and the early hours of Friday.
At about 2000 I again set off for La Panne intending to return that night as soon as I had seen the Rear-Admiral.
There were many men embarking in the few boats available going off to about 2 or 3 destroyers and sloops lying off

I used ANRH as my headquarters during the day, and instructed half the yachts to proceed to La Panne and the other half to work off Bray. During the forenoon, considerable firing of empty craft towards the beach was carried out and only about two boats were allwed to get adrift and ultimately aground. with the falling tide, however, till the tide rose in the afternoon. These included the ALC, a quite a number of boats were seen to ground and remained ashore fast motor boat and a lifeboat. Other power boats broke down.

On the falling tide she was soon left high and dry, and remained stranded for some three hours.
In the meantime the Coxswain of A.L.C. 17 procured the assistance of some British troops, who with fixed bayonets, drove off the French when these again attempted to rush the boat as the tide rose. These British troops, together with a few French, were taken off to a British destroyer shere the
