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.

In a considerable number of instances no claim has been
made by owners, who have felt proud that their vessels, and, in some
cases, their services, were privileged to be used at Dunkirk. In other
cases, owners have been content to accept the cost of essential repairs,
or compensation for lost equipment.
As mentioned above, there are now outstanding a small number
claims for compensation for the loss of vessels, mainly of a
of commercial character; but it is considered that, where the Secretary
is negotiations should be completed by the Committee for Compensation Wurtzburg,
unable to complete on the lines already laid down by this Committee,
the Total Loss, now sitting under the Chairmanship of Mr. C.E.
for addition there are a few miscellaneous claims outstanding consulting for repairs
In etc, which the Secretary has been instructed to deal with,
the members of the Committee informally where necessary.
conclusion, the Committee desire to place on record W.A. their
appreciation In of the zeal and ability shown by its Secretary Mr.
Wand.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servants,
(Sgd) G.J. ALLEN.
