5.
Redhill Control need not decide the particular area to which any train will go, but only to which subsidiary control point (Aldershot,
Salisbury or Reading) it shall go. Actual detrainment stations will be notified to the Railways at Aldershot, Salisbury or Reading.
Routing
6.
To simplify control and avoid congestion at Rodhill the following rules will be adhered to till further notice.
Routed to
Trains from Ramsgate and Margate
Reading (via Kensington, where there is a R.T.O.)
Trains from Hastings, Eastbourne,
Salisbury via Chichester.
Newhaven, Brighton or
Southampton
Trains from Dover and Folkestone
Rodhill for distribution to
Aldershot, Salisbury or
Reading.
7.
Despatches from landing points and arrival at Aldershot, Salisbury and Reading will be reported to Redhill Control quoting the code number of the train: but one channel (railway or military) should suffice.
N.B.
In lieu of D and F for Dover and Folkestone, V and W (their proper code letters) will be used by Southern Railway.
8.
Stragglers finding their way to London by public service will be despatched to Aldershot.
Empty stock trains
9.
Southern Railway will hold at least two empty trains at disposal of each Landing Control. As soon as a full train is despatched an empty train will be worked forward to replace it by the Southern Railway.
Entrainment
10.
To minimizo subsequent resorting the attempt is worth making to keep units together when time and the condition of the men permit. Similarly
R.A., R.E., R.A.S.C., R.A.O.C., etc., details should be grouped together when possible.
11.
Landing Controls should aim at full train loads of 500 men, but must exercise their discretion in regard to despatching less than train loads when no other ship is expected shortly.
General Instructions
12.
Redhill Control will issue whatever instructions experience shows necessary: but on questions of policy and general organization, M.C. War
Office will be consulted.
13.
The successful execution of the move depends however mainly on the initiative and tact of local landing controls. These must liaise closely not only with stationmasters but also with local Os. C. troops.
They are entitled to expect assistance from the latter in regard to administration, guides, P.A.D., contact with local welfare organizations, etc. It must also be understood that many mon will arrive in a state of complete exhaustion and apart from the organized refreshmont halts (see para. 17) every effort should be made to restore morale by kindness and firmness. The assistance of the police will be sought to provent crowds assembling.

3.
14.
Landing Controls will always appoint an O.C. train and will explain to him the general arrangements made. So far as is practicable the normal instructions for Os. C. trains will be adhered to.
Disposal of allied troops
15.
Large parties will be routed to their normal destinations, i.e.
French
Tidworth
Bolgian
Tenby
Dutch
Haverfordwest with an escort provided by local O.C. Troops.
Small parties should be takon over by O.C. troops and accommodated locally until a sufficient number have been collected to justify a special train. Meanwhile they should be confined to barracks and kept under close watch. W.O. (M.I.11) will be informed telephonically by O.C. Troops giving strength and nationality of all such parties. Demands for interpreters, if really necessary, will be made on M.I.11.
Medical arrangements
16.
Instructions have been issued separately through Eastern Command.
Feeding arrangements
17.
Refreshment halts have already been established at Headcorn and
Paddock Wood and are being provided at Faversham, Chichester and Salisbury.
Intercommunication
18.
24 D.R. Sec., now at Dover, will be allotted as follows -
15 D.Rs to Redhill Control
10D.Rs to M.C. Dover (incl. requirements of liaison officer).
19.
A direct telephone line is boing put in between liaison officer with V.A. and Southern Railway Control Dover.
20.
A direct wireless link is being provided between Dover (Movement
Control) and Redhill: but not between Dover and Ashford or Faversham.
Wireless messages may be intercepted by the enemy and for this reason the wireless link must be regarded only as an emergency means of communication.
Road transport
21.
Coaches have been allotted as follows -
To Dover, Folkestone, Margato, Ramsgate, Hastings, Eastbourne,
Brighton and Newhaven 10 each for local work to stations reporting to Landing Control for orders. 10 coaches are also held spare at each of Canterbury and Madistone, while a reserve is held of 50
coaches at Canterbury and Tunbridgo Wells all under control of
Redhill, Each coach lifts 30.
This road transport is under the general control of Eastern Command for administration.

MOST SECRET
DYNAMO MOVEMENT INSTRUCTION NO.1
Emergency evacuation across the Channel of very large forces (Plan Dynamo)
Important Note: This Plan provides for the worst possible contingency.
The utmost discretion will be used by addressees in communicating any part of this plan to any other person.
I. Sea Movement
(Ref. Notes on Conferences dated 21 May, 1940, this instruction modifies the earlier picture)
1.
An orderly withdrawal may be impossible and we must be prepared for chaotic movement of large and small parties to the coast between Calais and
Zeebrugge. It may be impossible for ships to enter any of the ports and every sort of small craft may have to be used. Ministry of Shipping in consultation with V.A. Dover are expediting the collection of small craft.
Intermittent evacuation has already begun.
2.
For the final evacuation we cannot expect information as to the numbers to be picked up at any time at any point and the only practicable scheme appears to be to group small craft at various points along the coast, each group perhaps working to one or more ships.
3.
The date on which ships and small craft should be placed in position for final evacuation will depend on information from G.H.Q. but 24 hours notice is expected.
II. Movement in the U.K.
4. Points of disembarkation
East Kent Group
Dover
Folkestone
Ramsgate
Margate
Sussex Group
Hastings (2 piers)
Eastbourne
Newhaven
Brighton (Palace pier)
Points west of Brighton or in the Thames will be used only in emergency.
For this plan first letters will serve as the code letter of the port, e.g. R for Ramsgate.

Control of sea movement rests with V.A. Dover. Military a. Southern Railway Control, Dover b. Local Movement Control at disembarkation point
(Landing Control).
Landing Control will count numbers disembarked, noting units and casualties, but ontrainment must not be delayed on this account. Landing
Control will report departuro time, approximate numbers and any useful information to Redhill Control by railway telephone.
Trains will be conspicuously marked by the Railway authorities with the code letter and consecutive number, e.g. R3 will be the third special from Ramsgate.
Redhill Control (with military and railway representatives)
is the regulating point for onward movement and all trains will be routed via Rodhill in the absence of other instructions.
Subsidiary regulating points will be ostablished at Salisbury,
Reading and Banbury to control distribution of trains to final dostination.
In addition to above Movement Control points a military liaison staff (Transportation) will be attached to H.Q. Southorn Railway,
Doepdone, to provide for military assistance to tho railways in the evont of air interforence.

Dear Mr. Dawkins,
You wrote to me on the 9th September concerning the loss of the "Clan Macalister" during the evacuation of Dunkirk and I am now enclosing for your confidential information, a copy of a
Notarial Protest, which appears to contain all the information we were able to obtain at the time about this case.
If this is not sufficient for your purposes I
would suggest that you should communicate with Commander
Holbrook of the Shipping Casualties Section, Trade
Division, Admiralty, who will probably be able to supply you with further details of the circumstances attending the loss of the ship.
Yours sincerely, ty's

House, in the year of Our Lord One thousand nine hundred
N.
and forty, before me JOSEPH PHILLIPS CRAWLEY, of the City of London, Notary Public by Royal Authority duly admitted and sworn, and in the presence of the
Witnesses hereinafter named, personally came and appeared ROBERT WILLIAM MACKIE, Master Mariner and
Commander of the Steamship or Vessel called the ntity
"Clan Macalister" of the Port of Glasgow, of the was a burthen of 6787 tons gross registered or thereabouts last seen by him the Appearer burning furiously in
Dunkirk East Roads;
in
WHO said and declared as he doth by those is as tish
Presents solemnly say and declare for truth as follows:-
THAT on the Twenty seventh day of May One thousand nine hundred and forty the Appearer left the Port of Southampton in and with his said vessel which was laden with His ajesty's landing craft and equipment and was engaged on transport service in accordance with instructions received from the Sea
Transport Authorities. He proceeded in accordance with the said instructions to the Downs there to await further orders. There he remained with his said vessel until about one oblock in the morning of the Twenty ninth day of May, when in pursuance of instructions given by the Naval Authori to proceed to Dunkirk or as near thereto as possible, the said vessel left the Downs and arrived at 9.30 a.m. on the same day (the Twenty ninth of May) at Dunkirk East Roads, where all the said landing craft, and equipment that it was possible to discharge were discharged. During the course of the unloading two motor craft were damaged and rendered unfit for service due to the rolling of the said vessel caused by the wash of one of His Majesty's
Destroyers which was proceeding past the port side of the said vessel at high speed. Later in the day some of His Majesty's troops were brought aboard the said vessel by motor craft and were being embarked until about 3.45 p.m. when enemy planes flew over dropping bombs, and scored three direct hits on the stern of the said vessel at number five hatch. The bombs went through the weather deck abreast of No. 5 Hatch and set
TE
the whole of the after end of the said vessel on fire.
a
A number of the Appearers crew and some of the troops ts on board were killed and injured. About 4.30 p.m. one of His Majesty's Dest royers came alongside and the troops already aboard the Appearer's vessel and the wounded members
5
of the vessel's crew were transferred to the said Destroyer.
ry
The Destroyer put two lines of hose on board the Appearer's vessel which were operated from the Destroyer and the Appearer himself caused his vessel's own hose line to be used in an attempt to put out the fire. The latter hose could not however, be operated efficiently as the deck water service pipes were found to have been fractured as a result of the bombing but nevertheless so long as the Destroyer was alongside, the fire was kept under control. About half an hour later the Destro not being able to wait longer owing to enemy air action the Appearer's vessel with the troops and wounded m the crew who had been transferred. The Appearer t to make a further attempt with the remmants of his his vessel under way.

The fire however began to spread rapidly and the Appearer by reason of the fire had previously given orders for the ammunition
HT
carried by his vessel to be jettisoned in order to save the said vessel from being blown up. The Appearer then made an attempt
ST.
to leave the Roads with a view to returning to an English Port on a course given to the Appearer by the Officers of the last
ITE
mentioned Destroyer, but it was found that the telemotor steering gear was broken and unusable, and that it was impossible to reach the hand steering gear which was situated aft on the poop owing to the fire and the fact that the remaining ammunition in the tonnage opening was exploding. As at this juncture it became impossible for the Appearer and his crew to navigate the said vessel or even remain on board owing to the fact that the fire was burning fiercely and was beyond control and that explosions were continuously taking place and that the vessel was being subjected to machine gun fire from enemy aircraft which were continuously attacking vessels in the roadsteads, the Appearer called for the assistance of one of His Majesty's Minesweepers which came alongside.
The Appearer then for the aforesaid reasons gave instructions for the Officers and the crew to leave the said vessel, and they, including him the Appearer, were transferred to the said
Minesweeper. When the Appearer and his crew last saw the vessel she was burning fiercely and explosions were constantly occurring.
The Appearer with his Officers and crew were then brought to the
Port of Dover where they arrived at about 10 o'clock in the morning of the Thirtieth day of May One thousand nine hundred and forty.
AND LASTLY that all losses and damages which may have happened to the said vessel her appurtenances or cargo have arisen in manner aforesaid and not through the neglect or default of the Appearer or any of his crew, who all did their duty to the utmost of their power, nor yet by any insufficiency in the said vessel which was tight staunch and substantial sufficiently manned and furnished with everything necessary for such a vessel and voyage and in every respect seaworthy, her engines and machinery being in good working order and condition, her cargo properly stowed and damaged and her hatches well secured.
THEREFORE the Appearer declares to protest and I the said
Notary at his request do hereby solemnly protest for all losses costs and damages, and for what else ought to be protested in the premises.
THUS done and protested in London in the presence of John
