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.

this the "JAVA" did; at about 3 Dalla we were dive
bombed near """ buoy - "no damage", so went to
assistance of several other craft "not required".
After searching between Hgth and Western Buoy for some
time and finding no sign of the "SALAMANDER" I sent
W/T to V.A.D. that I would wait around the area for
orders or would assist anything I came across. Later
I took in tow H.M.S. ? 0.96, destroyer which had been
battered and was laid helpless - full of troops.
Towed her until off the E. Goodwin and Goodwin Knoll,
when her engines came back to life.
Whilst towing the D.96 I received W/T from V.A.D.
to return to Dunkirk and handle H.M.S. "KEITH". I
replied unable to obey orders as I was fully engaged
with the D.96. Later, when D.96 was able to proceed
under her own power I phoned from Deal for further
orders; these were then given to the Captain of the
Tug whilst I myself was put into hospital from injuries
