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.

CANIMODARE
M.V 'Hound'
About 10 miles from Dunkirk they were
heavily bombed, but they proceeded. Two of the crew
got to the shore in a small boat to help the troops
get away. It was dangerous owing to the number of
men who got into the boat, but eventually six were taken
to the 'Hound'. After delays caused by bombing, a fur -
ther six were saved. Eventually, after 100 men had
been saved by this and other methods they proceeded to
England.
N.V 'M.F.H'
Upon arrival at Dunkirk there were about
80 German raiders overhead dropping bombs on the beach
40 ft away. Troops were picked up and disembarked on
to a larger vessel. They then proceed to the Mole, and
took on Board about 140 troops 'including a Colonel' and
returned to England with them.
