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.

The Private Secretary,
to the Minister of Shipping,
Berkeley Square House, W.1.
Dear Sir,
We acknowledge with thanks your letter of the
19th June, and enclosure addressed to Captain W.C. Robert-
son of our steamer "KOHISTAN". Captain Robertson will
be gratified to receive the appreciation of his services
and those of his Ship's Company, in regard to the evacuation
from Calais.
As far as we know, none of our ships took part
in the evacuation of Dunkirk, but you will doubtless be
aware of the fact that the "KOHISTAN", "FLORISTAN, and
'BAHARISTAN", all took part in more recent evacuation oper-
ations, and we think it only right that we should send you
the reports received from the two latter ships, dated 20th
and 21st June, respectively.
Yours faithfully,
For FRANK C. STRICK & CO. LIMITED.
