Copy of Statement from Skipper of the S.T. "KESTREL"
Re Dunkirk.
One of the most outstanding incidents to come
under my notice, was the action of one of our dstroyers.
We had had a quiet, uneventful crossing in
very fine weather on this particular morning, and orders were
to enter Dunkirk Roads, by the South Channel. This Channel
runs very close to the shore, to the southward of Dunkirk, and
part of this shore was in enemy hands. As we entered this channel
a destroyer, came to meet us, and got between us and the shore
and escorting us for some distance, and letting out a smoke
screen, shielding us from the shore. All the time the destoyer's
gun were blaxing away, and his anti-aircraft guns were in action
with many enemy planes, that were overhead.
The destroyer went ahead, and as he passed us,
we got a cheery wave from the officers on the bridge, and most
were doing their job, that drew the admiration of myself and
of the crew. It was the cool efficiency, with which those chaps
crew. Their action made our work easier, and we filled up with
troops in no time.

Copy of Statement from Skipper of S.T. "Tankerton Towers"
Re Dunkirk.
During the afternoon of May 3Ist, after taking aboard
some boat loads of soldiers, we decided to steam in shore to
pick up some more, when we came across a motor-yacht disabled.
This we took in tow. After about an hour her tow rope fouled
our propeller, which we could not free. I knew would should be
seen by a Patrol ship at some time or other so, we went on
with our work, getting as many soldiers aboard, which at this
time proved a mixed lot, British and French.
Every available space aboard was taken up by a soldier,
cabin, fish hold, wheelhouse, decks, even in the engine room.
Sometime in the evening, I cannot give the correct time, a
Patrol ship, did arrive, an d took us in tow.
It has since occurred to me, that no one thought
of the predicament we were in, and the only concern of everyone
was to get the troops aboard. In between times we were kept
amused by the way our men, of the Navy, were shooting down the
divebombers, just like rooks.

One incident which stands out vividly in my mind
was the action of part of my crew, on the morning of May
3Ist. The N.O.I.C. of my ship had asked a few motor-boats which
were laying about, if they were going to get some troops off
the beach, and the reply he received was, that there was not
sufficient water to get in close enough. On hearing this four

the Dunkirk evacuation, together with three volunteers, L.J.
Hardwick, "Hangleton", Pembroke Gardens Hove: Clifford Wright,

I proceeded to Dover on May 30th, under instructions
received from the Resident Naval Officer at Shoreham, Commander
A.R.T. Williams R.N., and reported at H.M.S.Lynx on the ewening
of the same day, and from that time onwards we were placed under
command of C.M.S.at Dover and operated with the De-Gaussing Squad
during the whole operation, we were also used for trans-shipping
ammunition to Destroyers on several occasions. I left my vessel
on the 5th June at Ramsgate, as she had been requisitioned.
I regret that I am not able to give you fuller details
as it is very difficult to divide any one incident from another
as we were operating continuously with no more than two hours
off a day.
Yours faithfully,
