Operation "DYNAMO" - Work of Personnel Vessels.
I have deemed it desirable, in drawing up my report on Operation DYNAMO, namely the evacuation of the Allied
Armies from Dunkirk between 26th May and 4th June, to deal separately with the work carried out by the "Personnel" vessels
(or transports) in order that copies may be sent to other authorities concerned, without the necessity for sending them the full report.
2. The work of these vessels has accordingly been summarised in the accompanying report, which it is requested may be placed before Their Lordships for their information.
3. I have already transmitted (Dover Letter 4th June,
1940 - No.B.23/862/40) a brief list of personnel recommended for immediate award or decoration (which His Majesty has been pleased to accept), and I will forward a further list at a later date when time has permitted a full examination of all the reports.

Gentlemen,
I have to thank you for your letter WP/JWA of the 12th August, 1940, and to inform you that the
Department sees no objection to reports being obtained from the Masters of your two vessels which took part in the Dunkirk operations as the Masters and crews of
His Majesty's Transports are not subject to Kings
Regulations. The Department will accordingly await these reports with interest.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
(Sgd.) B. E. BELLAMY.
