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.

:
I have the honour to submit a brief report of events mainly
mpiled from H.M.S. "Maleolm's" deck and signal log.
The days went by so quickly and one was so intent on one's
B small section of the job in hand that I find It difficult to
member a great deal of what occurred, or to do justice to the
od work of other ships working nearby.
Afterths period from 0200 to 1800 on 29th May during
ich "Malcolm" was largely concerned with trying to distribute
atroyers and boats to the best advantage between various beaches
xl Dunkirk Pier, the ship ran almost solely as & ferry between
inkirk Eastern Pier and Dover.
In this connection I feel It should be pointed out how
10h harder it mut have been for the Commanding Officers of
rivate destroyers than for a ship with & Captain (D)'s staff.
amanding Officers of these ships had to rely almost entirely
1 themselves, without the assistance of the additional officers
orne in & londer.
I was very little conne ned with the work on the beaches
ftar Wednesday, 29th, which was bafore the very large number of
uxiliary boats arrived, but I must comment on the admirable work
s the transports at Dunkirk Pier. These ships were handled with
kill and a coolness under shell fire and bombing which would be
apected from His Majasty's Ships but which is an enermous credit
0 their maters and crows.
The following 13 a brief diary of events:-
usaday, 28th 1422 Slipped from North Western Wall Ports.
2010 Spoke Dover. Ordered to proceed to beaches
