REPORT ON OPERATION DYNAMO AS PER ADMIRALTY
SIGNAL 1652/6 to C-IN-C. W.A.
On the 30.5.40, whilst minesweeping between Dover Harbour
and the S.Good-win L/V., I received orders to proceed to
Dunkirk to arrive there at daylight on 31.5.40, for sweeping
operations.
I left Dover in the "L.L" trawler "LORD INCHCAPE" at
1750/30 in company with the "L.L." trawler "OUR BAIRNS"
ormang the Unit.
Both vessels anchored at the N.Goodwin L/V until
2345/30 and then weighed and proceeded.
At 0500/31 I closed H.M.S. "EXPRESS" in Dunkirk roads
to ascertain where I should find the S.N.O. at Dunkirk.
I received orders to enter the port and at 0600 both vessels
were moored alongside the Eastern Mole inside the harbour,
where I reported to the S.N.O. at the Naval Base at the end
of the Mole.
I then received orders to lie where we were as sweeping at
the moment was impossible owing to traffic in the roads, but to
be ready to proceed when required.
Orders were later received from the Naval Embarkation
Officer that the "LORD INCHCAPE" would be required to evacuate
the Naval Staff and personnel from Dynkirk when the troop
evacuation was completed, and that the vessel was to stand by
for this purpose. This order was passed down to the Ship: in
