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.
The following 1a a brief diary of events:-
eaday,
28th
1422 slipped from North Western Well Ports.
2010 Spoke Dover. Ordered to proceed to beaches
East of Dunkirk by route Y with H.M.S. "Express",

"Scimitar" in company.
