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.

During all this period the whole ship's company
behaved in a grand way. They were tireless in their energies
in whatever direction they were requiered, either pulling
the whalers to and fro from the beach, or landing on the
jetty at Dunkirk and heartening the passage of the soldiers
with cheerful words or help. I regard this magnificent
spirit to be due to the example shown by my officers and
heads of departments in spite of the fact that 10 suffered
a very severe dive bombing attack on our second trip and
low level bombing attacks from one plane lasting about 20
minutes this same trip, and by Saturday every man was needing
rest badly.
The spirit of the ship's company was shown when,
having cleared lower deck on Saturday evening and explained
the final stages of the operation, there was literally a
"Tooth-suck" from the ship's company when the sailing
cancellation was piped D. the bosun's sale later.

Attached is list of recomendations of officers
and men for the period covered by this letter of proceedings.
I have the honour to DO,
Sir,
Your Chediens Servant,

The Vice-Admiral,
