It was low water and embarkation in small boats was
not an easy matter. Continuous air-bombing and machine-gunning
from aircraft took place throughout the night but it seemed, by
the Grace of God, that the smoke cloud over Dunkirk saved the
beaches from being bombed, the main bombing being over the town
and dockyard of Dunkirk and the town of St Malo.

party to proceed to Bray de la Plage to embark 5,000 soldiers.
Volunteers were called for and Commander Ken and I

We arrived at approximately 1700 and found about 30,000

lined up the soldiers and sent them to Dunkirk in parties of 1,000
