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.

cheerfulness and disregard of personal danger, set a high
example to the men. On the early morning of Saturday, 1st June,
when the situation ashore was obscure due to heavy bombardment,
he immediately volunteered to proceed ashore to find out what
was happening. After the ship had been struck he was tireless
in his efforts to disembark the soldiers and look after the
well-being of those who remained on board, and it was due to his
leadership that the fires were so quickly got under control.
Lieutenant (B) Andrew Cormack MAHONY, Royal Navy. (No previous
decorations)
This officer, by his coolness and energy, set a
fine example to his department when dealing with the damage below
after the ship had been struck. He rapidly assessed the damage,
and by his efforts succeeded in getting way on the ship in the
shortest possible time.
Eric James Littlewood GIBSON, Sick Berth Attendant, D/MX. 56025.
(No previous decorations).

highest praise.
