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.

Depranes zzbo 2421
Royal Naval Barracks,
Chathem.
10th June 1940.
I have the honour to submit a brief report of events mainly
upiled from H.M.S. "Malcolm's" deak and signal 103.
The days went by 30 quickly and one was so intent on one's
11 small section of the job In hand that I find it difficult to
nember a great deal of what occurred, or to do Justice to the
od work of other ships working nearby.
After the period from 0200 to 1800 on 89th May during
ich "Malcolm" was largely concerned with trying to distribute
stroyers and boats to the best advantage between various beaches
d Dunkirk Pier, the ship ren almost solely as a ferry between
nktrk Eastern Pier and Dover.
In this connection I feel It should be pointed out how
ch harder it must have been for the Commanding Officers of
ivate destroyers than for of ship with a Captain (D) staff.
unnanding Officers of these ships had to rely almost entirely
themselves, without the assistance or the additional officers
who in a leader.
I was very little concerned with the work on the beaches
"tar Eadnesday, 29th, which WAS bafore the very large member of
miliary boats arrived, but I must comment on the admirable work
the transports at Dunkirk Pier. These ships were handled with
dill and a coolness under shell fire and bombing which would be
spooted from His Majesty's Ships but which is an snormous credit
their maters and crews.
