5th June, 1940.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit the following. At
2000 on Thursday 30th May, "Monarda", in company with H.N.D.
"Renascent", sailed for Ramsgate in accordance with Sailing
Orders received. On arrival there at 0500 on 31st May we
were given orders to proceed to Dunkerque to take off
members of the B.E.F.
Dunkerque was reached at 1330 and we were attacked
by enemy bombing aircraft; to which attack we replied
vigourously. One of our Hurricane fighters was shot down
and fell into the sea. Her pilot, Squadron Leader McGregor,
was picked up.
Later, a Service cutter with forty soldiers
aboard was picked up and we then entered the harbour, took
off twenty-five men and returned to Ramsgate.
The following day, Saturday 1st June, we again
left Ramsgate at 0630 and arrived at Dunkerque about noon. We
entered the harbour and took on board one hundred and twenty
British soldiers. During this time there was a heavy bombing
attack - aerial torpedoes were dropped and "Monarda" was
shaken by explosions.
We sailed at 1400 and a little while later picked
up five French sailors from the water. A French trawler
came alongside and took on board fifteen of the wounded.
Later we met another French trawler which had
been damaged, took aboard her crew and towed her back to
Sheerness, where we arrived at 1430, Sunday June 2nd.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) Pearce T. Lovelock

FRIDAY, 31ST MAY

in the Bray and Malo sectors were being thinned out by movements westward
towards Dunkirk iteslf. This change of plan involved concentrating the special
tows and the minesweepers to which they were to transfer the troops, into the
stretch opposite the beach between Zuydcoote Sanatorium and one mile east
of La Panne¹, and also advancing the commencement of the operation by one
hour².
A risk was involved in this change of plan as the boat tows were not in com-
munication with the Vice-Admiral, and it would therefore be necessary for
minesweepers to see that the escorting M.A./S.B.'s shepherded the tows to the
new positions It had been explained to the Naval officers in each tow that
the minesweepers would be anchored so as to serve as guiding marks³.
" It was always impossible for me to do more than deal with the situation of
the moment", says Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker. "I did not know what ships
were coming or when-except for the pre-arranged plan of the sloops. Nor
was it possible for Dover to give me much information. Ships got back there,
unloaded, and were off again, the stream was constant but irregular and it was
not possible to see any way ahead. My policy was always to keep only sufficient
ships off the beaches and send all the others into Dunkirk, but the situation
changed continually."4
Small craft arrive in hundreds
It was in such circumstances that, at about 1900, Rear-Admiral Wake-
Walker had proceeded to Dunkirk in the Keith to see how the boat situation
was getting on. There he saw for the first time that strange procession of
craft of all kinds the story of which was to become famous-tugs, towing
dinghies, life-boats and all manner of pulling boats5-small motor yachts,
motor launches, drifters, Dutch skoots, Thames barges, fishing boats, pleasure
steamers⁶. This was indeed the first time that the small craft had come over
in hundreds⁷. Since noon Lt. Cdr. C. J. Wynne-Edwards, R.N. (of R.-A.
Dunkirk's staff), embarked in M.T.B.68, had been directing the tows to the
various beaches.

5th June, 1940.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit the following. At
2000 on Thursday 30th May, "Monarda", in company with H.N.D.
"Renascent", sailed for Ramsgate in accordance with Sailing
Orders received. On arrival there at 0500 on 31st May we
were given orders to proceed to Dunkerque to take off
members of the B.E.F.
Dunkerque was reached at 1330 and we were attacked
by enemy bombing aircraft; to which attack we replied
vigourously. One of our Hurricane fighters was shot down
and fell into the sea. Her pilot, Squadron Leader McGregor,
was picked up.
Later, a Service cutter with forty soldiers
aboard was picked up and we then entered the harbour, took
off twenty-five men and returned to Ramsgate.
The following day, Saturday 1st June, we again
left Ramsgate at 0630 and arrived at Dunkerque about noon. We
entered the harbour and took on board one hundred and twenty
British soldiers. During this time there was a heavy bombing
attack - aerial torpedoes were dropped and "Monarda" was
shaken by explosions.
We sailed at 1400 and a little while later picked
up five French sailors from the water. A French trawler
came alongside and took on board fifteen of the wounded.
Later we met another French trawler which had
been damaged, took aboard her crew and towed her back to
Sheerness, where we arrived at 1430, Sunday June 2nd.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
