Further indexing may identify vessel particulars, reported movements, participation assessments, named personnel and source references. The absence of a current match does not establish that no relevant source exists.
We are compiling and checking transcriptions, metadata, vessel-name matches, source references and reuse permissions before publishing further detail. This work helps prevent incomplete OCR, historic spelling variations or unverified associations from being presented as established fact.

No Small Craft records.
566 potential matching records have been identified.
These records may contain OCR text matches, source files, page references and digitised page imagery. A match does not by itself prove that the vessel participated in Operation Dynamo.
“Potential match” means a candidate returned by one or more indexing rules; it is not necessarily an exact identity match. Depending on the source, matching may use a normalised vessel name, a partial text or OCR hit, an alias, or related metadata. Roman-numeral suffixes such as I, II, III, IV and V may be absent, misread or separated from the base name, so records for similarly named vessels can be grouped incorrectly. Multi-word names can also produce candidates where only one significant word matches. Confirm the full name, numeral, vessel type, dimensions, builder, ownership, dates and source context before treating two records as the same vessel.

These details have been aggregated from multiple sources and may include contemporary records, later recollections, claims or assertions for which no corroborating evidence has been identified. Inclusion does not establish that any account or assertion is accurate. The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

In the neighbourhood of Nieuport buoy, the same battery which had previously fired at the Bourrasque again engaged her. It was still not possible to see the gun flashes, and the crowded decks made it dangerous to fire the ships guns. The salvos fell regularly at about 3½ minute intervals. To open the range more quickly, course was set closely to the border line of a French minefield and speed was increased to 18, 20 then 25 knots. 1640ca When about 5 miles north of Nieuport buoy, a shock was felt, followed by one more violent; blackish grey smoke rose from the torpedo firing platform, and there was a big escape of steam. The ship stopped, the electricity failed. The escaping steam ceased after 2 or 3 minutes and then the safety valves spat. The second officer was sent to report the cause and seriousness of the damage, and the chances of saving the ship. It was difficult to say if the ship was seriously damaged; there was a breach in the deck, and water was entering some compartments, but it was not possible to get to the engine room to assess the damage there. A second examination showed that there was little hope of holding on for long, water was entering more quickly and the ship commenced to During sink. this time, panic, which had to be controlled, reigned among the passengers; some of them threw themselves into the water, others the boats and threw themselves lowered in to them, in such numbers that they Order sank, was restored.

The Fleetwood trawlers DHOON EDWINA GAVA JACINTA (Lieut. F.J. Jordan, R.N.R., S.O.) EVELYN ROSE VELIA Lieut. Jordan sent in 2 reports of the operations carried out by these ships at Dunkirk. These reports differ from each other and from reliable reports of events with which they deal. Report No.1 (dated 7th June 1940 and addressed to Captain u/s, Harwich) shows that the Fleetwood trawler flotilla made only one trip to Dunkirk, and that was on the 1st June. (1) Five of the trawlers brought back troops - over 800 French colonial troops, and also 137 officers and men, survivors of the French dr. Foudroyant. The sixth trawler towed back a disabled Belgian trawler. Report No. 2 (dated 29th October 1940, and addressed to the Port Fishery Captain, Fleetwood), indicates that the Flotilla was operating at Dunkirk on 30th May and returned to Ramsgate a.m. 31st May. On p.m. 31st May, the Flotilla was said to be again operating off Dunkirk beachès, and when returning from Dunkirk on the night of 31st May/lst June, was said to have been present at the action in which the French dr. Siroco was sunk. This however, is impossible, because the Siroco was sunk on the night of 30th/31st May. The Report then records that the Flotilla made a trip to Dunkirk on 1st June. It is considered that this trip was the only one actually made by the Fleetwood trawlers. Also, it (1) In dated 12th February 1941, Cdr. Aux. A.J. Cubison, Patrol, D.S.C., R.N.

Captain Pim reported the situation and was ordered to close the beaches east of Dunkirk and if there were no troops to proceed to England. 0820ca Shortly after, the Keith was repeatedly attacked by strong formations of bombers, put out of action and abandoned. During this period, the Hilda remained under way, zig- zagging (as apart from the Keith and the M/S Skipjack, there was little else for the A/C to attack). The Hilda at once proceeded to rescue Keith's survivors, and assisted by M/B's, recovered a large number, including 2 British brigadiers and a French general.

A lighter came alongside with further stores. 1430 Oranje sailed. Before reaching Garrison Point a motor boat brought orders to proceed to Southend for onward routeing to Dunkirk. 1500 Ascertained at Sheerness that the order to sail for Dunkirk, cancelled the order to sail for Dover. Proceeded accordingly. Off the Nore L.V., a tug from Southend brought route instructions. Proceeded via the West Hinder and Kwinte Bank buoys. 28th May 0100ca When about 2 miles south of the West Hinder buoy, sighted a merchant vessel approaching ahead. The ships passed about 2 cables apart. When about 10° abaft the beam, this ship fired 12 rounds of rifle fire at the Oranje, 2 of which hit the ship's side. 0400 In company with 2 other skoots and a merchant ship [the Dorrien Rose] in the vicinity of Middelkerke Bank Buoy, observed the P/V Queen of the Channel approaching on opposite course. When 1/4 mile away she was attacked by a Heinkel dive bomber which dropped four 100 lb. bombs round her stern. She stopped and settled by the stern. The Oranje went to her assistance but was warned to keep off as the bomber was returning. A 500 lb. bomb was then dropped about 50 yards on the Oranje's starboard bow as she was leaving the Queen of the Channel. The Dorrien Rose went to the assis- tance of the Queen of the Channel and the Oranje continued on to Dunkirk. In the Zuydcoote Pass, met 2 destroyers full of troops. This, and the previous meeting of the Queen of the Channel was the first intimation that an evacuation of troops was in The progress. Oranje went alongside a "barrage vessel" off Bray.

OFFICE OF FLAG OFFICER COMMANDING, DOVER. 8th January 1941. My dear Dick, With reference to your letter of the 21st of December 1940, all these ships were mentioned in Vice Admiral Dover's list of ships taking part, though "Evelyn Rose", "Gava", and "Velia" are shown as "Miscellaneous H.M. Small Craft", and the rest as "Other British Ships". I attach a list of ships for your ready reference. There is no entry in the special Dynamo register concerning the report rendered by the Senior Examination Officer Fleetwood, so we think it failed to arrive. I referred the paper to Naval Officer in Charge Ramsgate who has made enquiries but regrets that no information is available concerning the recommendations for the Fleetwood Trawlers mentioned. I am sending a copy of this to Worthington. Yours ever, L.V. Morqan R.M.Y. Gleadowe Esq, Admiralty, Whitehall, S.W.1.

Дуламо 186. 328 301 Admiralty House, Sheerness. June 6th, 1940. REPORT GIVEN VERBALLY TO LIEUT. COMDR. D.E. HOLLAND-MARTIN, R.N. A.B. S. Palmer D/JX 148052. He was put in charge of the "Naid Errant", a 7 ton motor yacht of about 30ft., which started from Sheerness. She sailed for Dunkirk early on Friday, May 31st as one of a convoy of 7 motor boats which included the "White Heather". Before reaching the beaches close to Dunkirk he helped to rescue the survivors of a French Destroyer. He picked up about 20, which he transferred to a French tug, and then proceeded to the beaches. On arrival the French soldiers swarmed over his boat preventing him going astern so that he drifted ashore. He left the "Naid Errant" and swam off with his crew to a Minesweeper, whose name he did not know. Shortly afterwards thellatter went aground, but, as the tide rose, both the Minesweeper and the "Naid Errant" floated off. Palmer asked permission to swim back to his boat, but this being refused, he shouted to some soldiers on the beach to bring her alongside. This they managed to do and Palmer jumped on board, cast off from the Minesweeper, and set course for home. He was the only naval rating, in a small boat without a chart, with one serjeant and 8 other soldiers, who he thinks were from the Middlesex regiment. The sergeant he said was all right - "he had some rum in his bottle!". Palmer admits to know nothing about the engines which had already given the stoker trouble on the way over. Off Dunkirk they broke down, and so he broke up the yacht's cabin door and made the soldiers start to paddle. Luckily one of the engines started up and at about 2200 he left the vicinity of Dunkirk seering W.N.W. For a brief period one of the soldiers relieved him on the wheel. The soldier was willing but/new nothing of steering a course and, as Palmer found him making to the Eastward, he took over again himself and remained on the wheel througout the night. At about 0600 on Saturday, June 1st he picked up the coast somewhere off Dover and followed it up to Ramsgate arriving there about 1100. On Sunday, June 2nd, without orders, he sailed again with a crew of one other A.B., but as the "Naid Errant" was too slow he was ordered back by the captain of the "Usanco" after getting two or three miles out from Ramsgate. A.B. Palmer stated that he passed for Leading Seaman in May 1927, but presumably cannot have been recommended. He says that he has three Good Conduct badges and the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. He was drafted for operation Dynamo from R.N.B. Devonport, where he has recently been employed on the Plymouth City Patrol. 1025/2

We proceeded due north from La Panne over the sandbanks into Nieuport Roads, as I had been imformed by Major P.De Havilland that the Zudycote Channel was under fire. The presence of enemy sircraft overhead prevented the destroyers sighted from stopping to receive our message. The destroyers were, however, steaming in the direction of Dunkirk, Which I assumed to be in German Hands and I assumed that they had somehow heard of the fall of Dunkirk., and were on their way to Bombard. I then decided not to return to Bray Beaches that night, because:- 1. According to my imformation there would be no troops there to receive our stores. 2. If they wanted food at La Panne the Alice was still aground with 250 tons aboard, which I was unable to destroy by fire due to the proximity of the Able Tasman with munitions aboard. 3. Major De Havilland's message was still underlivered. .Kaap Falga had a deck cargo of over 20 tons and the crew of Alice and the other four soldiers took up nearly all the available space. Kaap Falga reported arrival in Downs at 0300/29th through H.M.S. Holdfast on examination service. NO orders were received and about 1200/31 I steamed Kaap Falga to Dover, where I reported to the Dynamo Operation Room. which was completed by 0900/1st fell June.

First Lieut. then abandoned Alice and took his crew and Major De Haviland (wounded) 25 and 4. soldiers to Kaap Falga where 1st. Lieut. Alice took command. Major De. Havilland of G.H.Q came on board with instructions for Kaap Falga to go to sea 25 and try and intercept a destroyer so that he could report by m/t to the War Office the seriousness of the situation. No. Destroyer would stop so Kaap Falga returned to the Downs and reported arrival. Then to Dover where stores were cleared by 09.00 1st. Kaap Falga's engines were badly coked up and in attempting to return to Dunkirk at 22.00 1st. they overheated to such an extent that the Ship could not make suffient speed to reach Dunkirk by 03.00 2nd. the latest hour that ships had been ordered to stay off Dunkirk. Due to the possibility of this defect Kaap Falga was not used on the night of June 2nd. the last night of the evacuation. Sailed for Poole 14.30/3 arrived 12.00/5 PACIFIC A Lieut. Comdr. .Skrine R.N. Lieut. Triscott R.N.R. Sat.25th. May Crews for Dutch Skoots proceeded from ortsmouth to Poole where they arrived about noon and were detached for these vessels. Pacific proceeded at 14.00 leaving discharged dutch crew at Brownses Island. Was ordered to anchor at Yarmouth for the night. Sun. 26th. May. Weighed at 0.430 and proceeded for Portsmouth Harbour at 09.3.0 Being Senior officer of the Party I went ashore and arranged for stores and swinging etc. No sailing orders were obtainable until about 19.00 when we were ordered to complete swinging as soon as possible and sail at once for Newhaven. Accordingly sailed at dark with Amazone Atlantic Zeus & Pascholl in company (wega and San Antonio) has broken down) Monday 27th. May. Arrived off Newhaven at 04.00 and was ordered to anchor outside Lay at anchor all day awaiting orders. At dark received orders to sail for downs in company with a party of skoots that had previously arruved Newhaven. Weighed and Proceeded Tues. 28th. May Arrived Dover about 08.00 and berthed alongside 09.00. Went ashore and having ascertained the possible nature of the operation made arrangements for sandbags first aid outfits etc., to be supplied to my party of Skoots by noon However an air raid warning intervened and none of these stores had been received 13.00 received orders to sail forthwith. Sailed about 13.00 and took over a large lifeboat at sea from one of the slower skoots who was dropping behind. Pacific gradually overhauled the other four skoots and I think was the first of this party to reach La Panne. From No. 6 E Buoy we proceeded at slow speed 180 straight for the beach where in answer to our hail a shout was raised by the soldiers on the beach. The intention waswas to turn to Port and anchor off. However partly due to the fact that the larger ships were closer in than I anticipated but mainly due to my leadsman failing to obtain any sounding at all we grounded on a bank of sand before we had turned 90° This occured at 23.00 We sent the large Lifeboat ashore with 3 of our 5 hands and instructed them to take off men to other ships as with the wind blowing inshore it was not certain that we should get off, With the remaining two hands we laid out a kedge on our Port quarter. By going full astern and heaving on the kedge we got afloat when the tide rose at 02.00 29th. May. The ships lifeboat and skiff was then sent inshore and 1 officer and 7 men were brought off to Pacific before the boats lost touch with her in the dark They did howver bring several par ies off to other ships. Verbal orders had been received before leaving Dover to leave shore before03.3 being anxious to recover boats and men Pacific remained inshore till daylight finally sailing at 04.30 when it seemed liekly that the boats and crews had been embarked by other ships. Rerurned to Dover by route Y arriviving about 16.30 and disembarked troops. No orders were immediately available but verbal orders were subsequently received to embark water and provisions and sail about 22.00 Application was made for the balance of complument and I was informed that I should be sent 3 hnds from Montvera. These did not arrive until 02.40 at which time Pacific sailed for Dunitirk. 30th. May. The morning of 30th May was misty at about 08.20 when crossing Le Dyck bank there was a violent underwater explosion about two cables on the Starboard bow No aircraft was about and it is supposed that it was a torpedo which had exploded on the Bank. No vessel was in sight Arrived off the beach 09.00 about 1 mile E of Dunkirk and anchored close in. We had no boat of our own but collected two from a skoot that was just leaving, conditions as regards surf were pretty good but boats very waterlogged and no boat was obtainable all day. By 16.00 my crew were exhausted by pulling those boats in and out from the hore all as I had 30 Officers and 620 men aboard I decided to sail. We might have had many more in half the time if a motor boat had been available. Accordingly sailed at 16.00 When crossing the Inner Ratel Bank attacked by by two of a flight of three fighters with machine guns. They scored was & few hits on the ship and injured noñody. Had nothing but a pistol with which to reply.
CONFIDENTIAL page 98 97 ORANJE'S R.O.D./1 dated 10th June 1940 (cont) commandeered. It was now about an hour after high water and ORANJE proceeded/ as close inshore as possible, anchored, and then beached stern first, drawings of the ship showing that this would not damage the screw or rudder. A line, consisting of two 120 fathom lengths of 2" manila, was then run inshore and hauled as tau a.s possible and ORANJE's dinghy was run along this, as no other boats were then availabbe; the disembarkation of provisions was then started about 5 packages at as time. 10. Two large boats were obtained about noon, and at 1700 the Royal Engineers provided 6 bridge building pontoons. with this number of boats available It was possible to disembark the provisions with reasonable celerity. Intermittent Air Raids took place throughout the day, but although a number of bom bs fell close to the ship, no damage was done nor were there any casuals By midnight when about 150 tons had been disembarked and were still on the beach, it was decided between the embarkation officer and mygelf that it would be better to stop disembark ing provisions and embark troops, sailing as soon as the tide rose sufficiently to float the ship. 11. Thursday May 30th. ORANJE weighed at 0415 with over 500 troops on board and proceeded for the Downs via the Kwinte Bank and West Hinder buoys. On sporoaching the Kwinte Bank buoy 8 wreck was observed about half 8 mile westward of the buoy, which gave the appearance of being the bows of destroyer protruding about 20 feet out of the water. On arrival in The Downes ORANJE was ordered by the examination steamer to proceed to Margate where we went alongside the pier at 1720 and disembarked troops. 1 A.B. was discharged sick. ORANJE completed with fuel, water, and provisions, embarked two Lewis guns and ammunition, took two boats in tow, and sailed for Dunkirk again at 2230. Owing to too short a tow, ORANJE having no more hawsers on board, the boats broke adrift in the vicinity of the Elbow buoy, and as they could not be immediately located they were abandoned. There were no crews on board. 12. Friday 31st Mey. ORANJE arrived off No. West buoy, Dunkirk Channel at dawn and proceeded towards Le Panne. There was considerable air activity along the coast but. ORANJE was unmolested. Off Dunkirk Harbour ORANJE was closed by a destroyer believed to be EXPRESS, and told to close destroyer H 11 (BASILISK) and work under his orders: ORANJE anchored off Le Panne in the same position as the previous day.

CONFIDENTIAL. Dyram 95. 263 From. The Commanding Officer. Sheldrake. 248 Date 2nd June. 1940. Reference. RDA/0/37. To The Flag Officer in Charge. Harwich. Subject Meritorious Service Awards. 1. Operations in which Sheldrake has been involved during the evacuation from Dunkirk has enabled certain officers and men to distinguish themselves in H.M. Ship under my command. The circumstances are outlined below so that the necessary action may be taken by you should you concur. 2. Sheldrake was ordered by C-in-C. Nore. to proceed to the KWINTE BUOY and destroy the Asdic Apparatus of one of our destroyers wrecked in the vicinity 3. On arrival 'Wakeful' was found to be lying completely capsized with her stern resting on the bottom and only the forefoot visible, which appeared from oil marks on the waterline to be semi buoyant. A Boat under the command of my First Lieutènant, Lieutenant HUGH WILLIAM MACKENZIE ROSE, R.N. was sent over and placed a berthing wire running from the bull ring round the keel, to the bull ring the other side. It was intended to hang depth charges on this 'necklace' and countèrmine them with other depth charges, using Bickfords fuze. 4. For the second trip with two depth charges, it was necessary to tow the whaler to the wreck on the end of a grass and to pump out oil fuel from Sheldrake to counteract the effects of ground swell and strong tide, which made operations difficult, particularly on the weather side. Good seamanship and stout hearts succeeded in placing one charge on either bow in the required spot without damage to the boat. Throughout the operation all were acutely aware that we were only 10 miles from Dunkirk with aircraft of both sides passing the ship at intervals, and that at bomb in the vicinity of a boat would have countermined the depth charges that they were placing. 5. On the whalers return to the ship for the demolition charges, C-in-C. Nore's signal "Cancel my 1044 area now mined" was received. It confirmed our own fears that we had been working in a mined area. It seemed a pity to leave the job half done and it was decided to sink the wreck by gunfire using D.A. fuze asnear the required area as possible, and if the ship sunk before the charges placed had been exploded, to fire them with a countermining pattern of depth charges. She sank inside ten mintes, and using the escaping bubbles from the punctured stem as an aiming mark, a pattern was dropped, of which the centre charge produced a plune that told us that the desired effect had been achieved. The only damage to Sheldrake was a few light fittings on the Stokers Messdeck caused by the capstan engine 'whipping' on the light deck above. 6.

These appeared to be no centralised control either of boats or beach. During the afternoon and evening there was a certain amount of enemy air activity but enemy planes always moved away when A/A fire was brought to bear on them, and there were frequent visitations by British Fighters which appeared to have an excellent deterrant effect. No bombs were dropped in my vicinity. At about 2000 a short but heavy artillery fire was brought to bear on the part of the beach near to Dunkirk and many men started to swim out to the ships or come out in very inadequate boats. I weighed anchor in the "Royal Eagle" - as the tide was approaching high tide and proceeded as close in shore as possible to pick up these men. At about 2200 when no further men were coming to the ship and "Royal Eagle" was packed to nearly full capacity - 1.e. every covered in part of ship full and men also on the upper deck forward and aft, I decided to weigh and proceed to Sheerness rather than Margate on account of the ships requirements in oil and water which at Margate would have taken too long to complete. I consider now that on this day I committed a serious error of judgement as in view of the poor embarkation facilities I should have ordered "Royal Eagle" to ground herself in shore at low water and fill up my boats running between the ship and shore on a line and then have floated off and proceeded as the tide rose, or alternatively I might have grounded /Royal Eagle" to form a pier to facilitate embarkation by other ships when they arrived. I consider now on looking back that the provision of some sort of pier should have been a matter of primary importance. In view of the shelling of the beaches from the Westward I decided to proceed back by route "y" particularly as this was the only route known by experience. Shortly after leaving a report was received of M.T.B.'s off Bray but I then considered that it was too late to turn back. After passing Middelkerke Buoy the ship was attacked by an aircraft firing machine gun but I gave orders that no firing was to take place so that thereshould be less chance of giving away 10 ships position to M.T.B. The ship was not hito During the night I passed three small dark vessels which I believed were French Torpedo Boats. I did not challenge but kept guns trained on them. About 0230 on 31st May there were signs of firing about 10 miles astern and about five minutes later a tremendous column of flame rose from the water. I consider now that I was to blame in using route "Y" and that I unduly hazarded the ship by so doing. On arrival at Sheerness at 0600 I found that in response to my request possible arrangement had been made for the reception the of the every and the cleaningofuelling and provisioning of hours ships working under conditions of high tension and ship.

Dynams 146. 355 H.M.S. "WILDFIRE", Sheerness. June 5th, 1940. Sir, I have the honour to submit the following report of certain proceedings affecting H.M.T. "Strathelliot" on May 30th and 31st, June 1st and 2nd 1940. Acting on orders received from P.M.S.O., Sheerness, I repaired on board H.M.T. "Strathelliot" at 10.30 May 30th with instructions to escort a convoy of motor cruisers to Ramsgate. The executive signal was received at 1410, anchor was immediately weighed and the convoy was picked up at 1430. The route ordered was via 33 QZS, but as certain boats had proceeded into the Princes Channel, I ordered course to be laid through that channel so that we should not lose touch with them. At 1550 we hove to and took in tow two disabled boats the "Skylark" and Court Belle II" - proceeding at 1635. At 1800, we again hove to to await boats astern, and they coming up, we took in tow the "Mary Rose", proceeding at 1840. At 1845 we were again compelled to stop, as certain other vessels were in trouble, but these being taken in tow by others, we got under way again at 1910. Our orders were to close the Examination Vessel off the N. Goodwin L.V. for instructions, but, as we approached we received orders by R/T to prodeed to Ramsgate and to report to the N.O.I.C. there. We arrived off Ramsgate about 2200 and came to anchor - ordering all motor boats to make fast to the trawler. I then went aboard motor boat "Forty Two", whose officer was a Lieutenant R.N.R. in aommand of the boats and put off to search for three boats lost in the darkness. These we fortunately picked up near the Gull Buoy and escorted to the "Strathelliot". I then went ashore in "Forty Two" and reported to the N.O.I.C. at 2305. I was then ordered ny him to escort the convoy to Dunkerque, but having received orders from Sheerness to return, I requested permission to telephone Sheerness for confirmation. This being given, I collected orders, route orders and charts, being ordered to sail immediately. I then returned to the "Strathelliot" and asked the Lieutenant R.N.R. to call all the officers in command of motor boats to the trawler. They were then given orders and charts so that in the event of their losing touch with the escort, they would be able to proceed alone. I arranged to hoist a red lantern of low visibility in the trawler, so that boats could keep in touch with us in the dark and slao arranged certain signala which were to be made on our siren to cause the convoy to heave to, to proceed or to ease down. I gave orders to be prepared to move off at 0200 and the officer returned to their boats. There were eight defective boats to be towed and arrangments were made as to which hoats were to do the towing. In the darkness however, it was impossible to hold to these arrangements, but all the defective boats were taken in tow by others. Anchor was weighed at 0205 and the convoy proceeded to sea. the North Goodwins L.V., the convoy was hove to and all ships accounted At for; course then being set vis U.V. and W. buoys due for Dunkerque breeze and the boat's crews were suffering great although speed roads.

Dunkerque-even presuming we could get her there-she should be I therefore as she was unlikely to be of any use at abandoned and sunk.I therefore ordered the rest of the convoy to proceed under the Lieutenant R.N.R.. We then took off the crew of the "Mary Rose" and fired one tray of Lewis gun ammunition into her water line, finally breaking her up by ramming her to prevent her becoming a danger to navigation. We then proceeded after the convoy and picked up another boat which was being towed. At 0820, the "Skylark" sustained further damage to her stern due to the strain on the tow caused by the heavy seas, and, as she was in danger of foundering, her crew were taken off and a cargo of ladders and petrol and all serviceable stores aboard transferred to the "Strathelliot" the boat being them cut adrift. We then closed a trawler "KO" and semaphored her to sink this boat which she did. At 0845, we took in tow the "Malden Annie IV", nut at 0855 her Port mooring bollard tore away and the towing hawser was then secured to the Starboard. This was showing signs of parting, and finally tore away at 0940. The hawser was then secured to a small hook. At 1000 we closed the trawler "Grimsby Town" and sent a message ashore by her reporting our position. A mechanic was put aboard the "Malden Annie IV" to try to effect repairs to her magneto, but this was found to be impossible. A hawser was then passed right round underneath her and was secured on deck, the towing hawser being bent to this. This hawser parted at 1215, when "Malden Annie IV" reported that water was entering due to damage received forward. A new hawser was passed and the vessel towed stern first. A great deal of damage. had been caused to her superstructure by heavy seas crashing her into the trawler, but having lost two ships, I was loth to lose a third. The tow parted twice more in the course of the afternoon, but the vessel was eventually taken to Dunkerque. I would like to mention the conduct of the officer in command of the "Malden Annie IV" who worked extremely hard under very trying conditions to bring his ship to port. At 1530 we were proceeding down the channel into Dunkerque when a destroyer came out firing on and being fired on by batteries ashore. It was impossible for us to steer out of her line of fire, due to our tow, but fortunately, although shells were falling close to us and planes were trying to bomb the destroyer, we sustained no damage the mearest shell being about 70 yards on our starboard beam. On two other occasions between 1530 and our arrival off Dunkerque but sustained hits. We came to anchor off Dunkerque beaches ( as beaches at 1620, we received salvoes of bombs intended for destroyers close in no draft would allow) and eventually attracted the attention of a motor as launch our manned by Sea Scouts. They came alongside and we asked them to bring us some troops from the beach. We put our this ship's and boat over the side and she was towed ashore to assist.

112 CONFIDENTIAL 110 Office of The Flag DOVER. Officer Commanding, No. A.14/0/876/40. 18th June, 1940. Sir, Be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report on Operation "DYNAMO", namely the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk and neighbouring beaches between 26th May and 4th June, 1940. The report takes the form of this covering letter, together with detailed narrative and appendices. 2. THE POLICY AND THE PROGRESS OF THE EVACUATION. During the course of the operation 316,663 troops reached safety in England after being evacuated from Dunkirk, and from the beach stretching 10 miles eastward from the entrance to Dunkirk Harbour. To those on the French coast, when in the early stages anything up to 50,000 troops were waiting to embark on a 10 mile sea front, the presence of perhaps 20 small warships offshore, and 200 small boats spread along the length of coast at any given moment, must have appeared as a feeble effort to tackle this great task. Furthermore, it was impossible to adjust the arrival of ships, either at Dunkirk or opposite the beaches, to synchronise with the ebb and flow of the troop concentrations. Broadly speaking, for the first 5 days of the move- ment, had more beaching craft been available to ferry from the beach to offshore vessels, it would have been possible to have evacuated a greater number. For the last 3 to 4 days, however, when the main bulk of the B.E.F. had already been evacuated, the rate of lifting was governed by the availability of the troops during the limited hours evacuation was possible. 3. Throughout the operation one of the greatest difficulties was the ever changing situation presented. Within 24 hours of the start, the operation took the shape of a forlorn hope to rescue the maximum number, say up to 45,000 before the whole force was to be overwhelmed by the enemy. Next, the military situation became more stable, and it appeared that some three to four days would be available to complete evacuation of the B.E.F., estimated at some 175,000. During this stage evacuation by British resources of French troops was introduced, some 25,000 being mentioned. decision to lift the rearguard of the B.E.F. off the beaches During the course of the fifth day (30/5) a tentative at a definite time, viz. 0130/1, was reached. 24 hours later this plan was altered by military considerations, involving an Naval definitely committed to provide for the extension of the period of evacuation. At the same time, the 50,000. evacuation or French forces, then mentioned as about 40,000/ Later, the French number rose and 150,000 or more was quoted. Finally no agreement could be reached with the French Secretary as/ London,,Salty, 1.

Operation "DYNAMO" - Narrative of Events. 29/ Wednesday, 29th May (continued) well as from Dunkirk harbour, both from the aspect of the military situation and from the fact that Dunkirk was limited by a bottle-neck, formed by the narrow gangway along the East Pier to the points of embarkation. Furthermore, there was every prospect of the weather improving and the surf reducing as the tide rose. Nevertheless, an increased number of H.M. ships was ordered to Dunkirk to augment the personnel vessels, though it was feared that an accumulation of ships alongside the East Pier at Dunkirk by day might well invite intensive air attack, Subsequently, this fear was fully to be justified. 25. Meantime, considerable anxiety was felt as to the fate of the personnel vessels which had been despatched in a steady stream to Dunkirk commencing the previous evening. The first of these was due back at Dover about 0300, but by 0900 nothing had been sighted or reported. But at 0700, O., Dunkirk, had reported that the embarkation there was going on at the rate of 2000 an hour, so it was presumed that the transports had failed to enter the harbour during darkness, had waited outside, and had commenced to enter in succession at dawn. The necessity for continuous fighter protection in view of the exposure of these unarmed ships while at Dunkirk and during the dayligh passage through coastal waters, was obvious, Constant touch was maintained with R.A.F. Commands to obtain continuous fighter protection during the hours when the Vice Admiral, Dover, estimated the largest concentration of vessels would be present, it being realised that the R.A.F. 3 resources were not sufficient to provide continuous air cover, ed and to dispense with full cover at less important periods. 26. At 0930 the belated return of the personnel vessels from Dunkirk commenced, and proceeded steadily through the day. In addition to the personnel vessels using Dunkirk the Admiralty were informed of the necessity for X-lighters and other self-propelled lighters to increase the facilities for beach evacuation. A Medical Party was shipped in VERITY for use on the beaches, and a Naval Medical Party was sent to Dunkirk. 27. The considerable alarm as to the immediate safety of the B.E.F. felt during the evening and early night of the k 28th, which caused all available resources to be immediately concentrated on the French Coast, eased during the 29th. But e emergency measures taken late on the 28th had an adverse effect on the orderly organisation for evacuation so necessary le if effective measures were to be devised and put in force. 28. Meantime, in the early hours of the 29th, an un- fortunate disaster occurred involving the loss or H.M. destroyers WAKEFUL and GRAFTON, and the danlayer COMFORT. WAKEFUL, after embarking troops at Bray, sailed for Dover at 2300/28 by the Zuydecoote Pass and North Channel. Approaching the Kwinte Whistle Buo the speed of the ships was 20 knots, and a zigzag of 40 degrees every 4 minutes was started. At 0045 two torpedo tracks were observed, one torpedo missed, the other hit ship smidships. WAKEFUL broke in half and the two portions sank in 15 secends, each remaining standing midship/ with the

The arrivals at the home ports indicated that in spite of the frequent requests for more ships and more boats received from the various authorities on the French coast, the rate of evacuation was steadily increasing and would permit, all being well, of implementing the final evacuation plan during the night 31/5 - 1/6, Accordingly, instructions were issued for the special tows to leave Ramsgate at 1300/31 for Dunkirk via Route X, and Commander-in-Chief, Nore, and Flag Officer-in-Charge, Harwich, were requested to provide all available M.T.B.'s to escort this convoy for as much of the outward passage as possible, which was timed to commence from Ramsgate at 1300/31. Speed of advance - 5 knots. A party of Naval officers had been assembled at Dover to embark in these tows and had been given detailed instructions on the plan. Two M.A./S boats and 2 M.T.B,'s in the Dover Command were ordered to accompany the boat convoy and subsequently embark the Commander-in-Chief, B.E.F. and Staff off the beaches. 31MAY 56. Shortly after sunrise an on-shore wind arose and boat work became difficult, many whalers capsizing, and the prospects of completing the evacuation to plan began to be less favourable. The following extract from the report of Captain Howson, S.N.O., on the beaches illustrates conditions at Bray at this time: "At 0400 there was a very considerable number of destroyers, paddlers, trawlers, skoots, etc, off Bray, and embarkation was proceeding satisfactorily, but a lop had already started. There were about 10 motor yachts which had arrived from England, These craft drew 6-7 feet and were unable to get close in to any of the beaches. During the forenoon, considerable towing of empty craft towards the beach was carried out, and only about 2 boats were allowed to get adrift and ultimately ground. With the falling tide, however, a number of boats were seen to ground and romain ashore until the tide rose in the afternoon. These included an A.L.C., New motor boat and a lifeboat. Other power boats broke down. Nevertheless, the embarkation, much hindered by the lop, proceeded satisfactorily. As further destroy- ers and sloops arrived, they were directed to lower their motor boats and whalers as this had not already been done, these boats were quite invaluable. About noon, the lop began to subside and with the rising tide conditions for embarkation very greatly improved, more boats were sent in and more boats floated off and matters were proceeding very well, when the gun at La Panne started to shell the beaches and foreshore with great accuracy. A certain number of light craft were sunk. The A.L.C. broke down and was towed away by a steamer, MOSQUITO, destroyers and sloops proceeded westward clear of the firing. 57/
140 2g CONFIDENTIAL Page 19. - 138 Operation "DYNAMO" - Narrative of Events. 31/5 Friday, 31st May (continued). 57. Rear Admiral Wake-Walker was able to make a survey of the general conditions of the beaches, and at 1130 the Vice Admiral received a signal from him stating that the majority of the pulling boats were broached to and without crews, conditions on the beaches being very bad owing to a freshening shore wind, only small numbers being embarked. Under present conditions any large scale embarkation from beach impractic- able. Motor boats could not get close in. He considered only hope of embarking any number was at Dunkirk, and further stated he would attempt to beach ship to form a lee to try to improve conditions. Simultaneously with this bad news the Vice Admiral received a signal from S.N.O. Dunkirk to the effect that Dunkirk was being continuously and heavily bombarded and that the enemy artillery were gradually finding the range of the loading berth. He stated he wished only to enter ships which were necessary for the flow of troops. This latter signal fortified the Vice Admiral in his decision to suspend the sailing of personnel vessel to Dunkirk until the accumulation of those en route had been evened out. 3, MAY 58. One group of minesweepers who, up to this time had been working continuous round trips between Sheerness and La Panne, were diverted to round trips between Dunkirk beach and Margate to compensate for the gradual drift of troops Westward along the Coast, and to compensate for the reduced flow of troops off Dunkirk pier consequent on the artillery bombardment. At the same time, by using Margate the duration of the round trip was reduced. The Rear Admiral, Dover, from off the coast was instructed to run a paddle minesweeper bows ashore on rising tide to be used as a bridge, deeper draught ships coming to her stern, if conditions were suitable. It was not thought, however, that this would be an effective measure of bridging the gap between water-line and off shore ships, as the length of a paddle minesweeper was so small compared with the length of the shallow water to be traversed. 59. During the forenoon beaches at La Panne were subjected to heavy artillery fire. Action was taken with the R.A.F. Commands to locate batteries shelling the beaches and Dunkirk pier and include air bombardment of these positions in the R.A.F. protective measures undertaken during the operation. 60. During the afternoon additional beach parties were sent out, and barges with provisions, ammunition and water arrived at the beaches during the day and were grounded Two fur- ther drifters were despatched with petrol, diesel oil and Aubricants to the beach area to refuel the inshore craft. 61. Arrangements were made to be ready to embark Lord Gort and Staff from La Panne 1800 or later, by M.T.B. After 1700 weather conditions off the beaches improved, particularly as the tide rose and it appeared once more possible to take effective

"A slight surf, thrown up by the onshore wind, made beaching awkward, and the use of an anchor was essential Owing to bad seamanship, A.L.C. 5 lost her anchor and warp at the first attempt at beaching, with the result that the craft rode on much farther than was intended or desirable. She was immediately rushed on all sides by a wild, undiscip- lined mob of French soldiers, so many of whom got aboard that the boat was grounded; and it was only by the use of considerable amount of force that a sufficient number could be got overboard, so that the craft could be got off the beach. Two very good anchors, one complete with a good long warp, were found in a derelict motor boat and these were used to replace the lost anchors before making a further trip. The second attempt to embark French troops shewed that their undisciplined behaviour was likely to imperil the safety of the craft, and it was decided to proceed farther up the coast to La Panne where British troops were found. These troops were ferried from the beach to one or other of the craft anchored offshore, at the rate of approximately 3 trips per hour." A.L.C. 16. Report. 29th May. "A.L.C. 16 was the first boat to be hoisted out, and proceeded straight inshore to the beach near Old Dunkir where she e vacuated British troops. After making some sever trips successfully, she was boarded by a mob of French soldiers, who overwhelmed the boat to such an extent that she became partially swamped, the starboard battery was flooded and both engines failed. Eventually sufficient French were evicted to enabl A.L.C. 16 to be floated off, and the port engine started. A.L.C. 17. Report. 29th May. "A.L.C. 17 was the fourth boat to be hoisted out, and followed A.L.C. 5 up the coast towards Bray. On approaching the beach she was promptly boarded by a crowd of French soldiers, who so overloaded the boat that she grounded. On the falling tide she was soon left high and dry, and remained stranded for some three hours. In the meantime the Coxswain of A.L.C.17 procured the assistance of some British troops, who with fixed bayonets, drove off the French when these again attempted to rush the boat as the tide rose."

CONFIDENTIAL Office of The Flag Officer Commanding, DOVER. No. A.14/0/876/40. 18th June, 1940. Sir, Be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report on Operation "DYNAMO", namely the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk and neighbouring beaches between 26th May and 4th June, 1940. The report takes the form of this covering letter, together with detailed narrative and appendices. 2. THE POLICY AND THE PROGRESS OF THE EVACUATION. During the course of the operation 316,663 troops reached safety in England after being evacuated from Dunkirk, and from the beach stretching 10 miles eastward from the entrance to Dunkirk Harbour. To those on the French coast, when in the early stages anything up to 50,000 troops were waiting to embark on a 10 mile sea front, the presence of perhaps 20 small warships offshore, and 200 small boats spread along the length of coast at any given moment, must have appeared as a feeble effort to tackle this great task. Furthermore, it was impossible to adjust the arrival of ships, either at Dunkirk or opposite the beaches, to synchronise with the ebb and flow of the troop concentrations. Broadly speaking, for the first 5 days of the move- ment, had more beaching craft been available to ferry from the beach to offshore vessels, it would have been possible to have evacuated a greater number. For the last 3 to 4 days, however, when the main bulk of the B.E.F. had already been evacuated, the rate of lifting was governed by the availability of the troops during the limited hours evacuation was possible. 3. Throughout the operation one of the greatest difficulties was the ever changing situation presented. Within 24 hours of the start, the operation took the shape of a forlorn hope to rescue the maximum number, say up to 45,000 before the whole force was to be overwhelmed by the enemy. Next, the military situation became more stable, and it appeared that some three to four days would be available to complete evacuation of the B.E.F., estimated at some 175,000. During this stage evacuation by British resources of French troops was introduced, some 25,000 being mentioned. During the course of the fifth day (30/5) a tentative decision to lift the rearguard of the B.E.F. off the beaches at a definite time, viz. 0130/1, was reached. 24 hours later this plan was altered by military considerations, involving an extension of the period of evacuation. At the same time, the Naval authority was definitely committed to provide for the evacuation of French forces, then mentioned as about 40,000/ 50,000. Later, the French number rose and 150,000 or more was quoted. Finally no agreement could be reached with the French e Secretary as/ of the Admiralty, London, S. W. 1.
CONFIDENTIAL. Page 7. Operation "DYNAMO" - Narrative of Events, Wednesday, 29th May (continued) well as from Dunkirk harbour, both from the aspect of the military situation and from the fact that Dunkirk was limited by a bottle-neck, formed by the narrow gangway along the East Pier to the points of embarkation. Furthermore, there was every prospect of the weather improving and the surf reducing as the tide rose. Nevertheless, an increased number of H.M. ships was ordered to Dunkirk to augment the personnel vessels, though it was feared that an accumulation of ships alongside the East Pier at Dunkirk by day might well invite intensive air attack, Subsequently, this fear was fully to be justified. 25. Meantime, considerable anxiety was felt as to the fate of the personnel vessels which had been despatched in a steady stream to Dunkirk commencing the previous evening. The first of these was due back at Dover about 0300, but by 0900 nothing had been sighted or reported. But at 0700, S.N.O., Dunkirk, had reported that the embarkation there was going on at the rate of 2000 an hour, so it was presumed that the transports had failed to enter the harbour during darkness, had waited outside, and had commenced to enter in succession at dawn. The necessity for continuous fighter protection in view of the exposure of these unarmed ships while at Dunkirk and during the daylight passage through coastal waters, was obvious. Constant touch was maintained with R.A.F. Commands to obtain continuous fighter protection during the hours when the Vice Admiral, Dover, estimated the largest concentration of vessels would be present, it being realised that the R.A.F. resources were not sufficient to provide continuous air cover, and to dispense with full cover at less important periods. 26. At 0930 the belated return of the personnel vessels from Dunkirk commenced, and proceeded steadily through the day. In addition to the personnel vessels using Dunkirk the Admiralty were informed of the necessity for X-lighters and other self-propelled lighters to increase the facilities for beach evacuation. A Medical Party was shipped in VERITY for use on the beaches, and a Naval Medical Party was sent to Dunkirk. 27. The considerable alarm as to the immediate safety of the B.E.F. felt during the evening and early night of the 28th, which caused all available resources to be immediately concentrated on the French Coast, eased during the 29th. But emergency measures taken late on the 28th had an adverse effect on the orderly organisation for evacuation so necessary if effective measures were to be devised and put in force. 28. Meantime, in the early hours of' the 29th, an un- fortunate disaster occurred involving the loss of H.M. destroyers WAKEFUL and GRAFTON, and the danlayer COMFORT. WAKEFUL, after embarking troops at Bray, sailed for Dover at 2300/28 by the Zuydecoote Pass and North Channel. Approaching the Kwinte Whistle Buoy the speed of the ships was 20 knots, and a zigzag of 40 deg es every 4 minutes was started. At 0045 two torpedo tracks were observed, one torpedo missed, the other hit ship amidships. WAKEFUL broke in half and the two portions sank in 15 seconds, each remaining standing with the midship/

The arrivals at the home ports indicated that in spite of the frequent requests for more ships and more boats received from the various authorities on the French coast, the rate of evacuation was steadily increasing and would permit, all being well, of implementing the final evacuation plan during the night 31/5 - 1/6. Accordingly, instructions were issued for the special tows to leave Ramsgate at 1300/31 for Dunkirk via Route X, and Commander-in-Chief, Nore, and Flag Officer-in-Charge, Harwich, were requested to provide all available M.T.B.'s to escort this convoy for as much of the outward passage as possible, which was timed to commence from Ramsgate at 1300/31. Speed of advance - 5 knots. A party of Naval officers had been assembled at Dover to embark in these tows and had been given detailed instructions on the plan. Two M.A./S boats and 2 M.T.B.'s in the Dover Command were ordered to accompany the boat convoy and subsequently embark the Commander-in-Chief, B.E.F. and Staff off the beaches. 56. Shortly after sunrise an on-shore wind arose and boat work became difficult, many whalers capsizing, and the prospects of completing the evacuation to plan began to be less favourable. The following extract from the report of Captain Howson, S.N.O., on the beaches illustrates conditions at Bray at this time: "At 0400 there was a very considerable number of destroyers, paddlers, trawlers, skoots, etc, off Bray, and embarkation was proceeding satisfactorily, but a lop had already started. There were about 10 motor yachts which had arrived from England. These craft drew 6-7 feet and were unable to get close in to any of the beaches. During the forenoon, considerable towing of empty craft towards the beach was carried out, and only about 2 boats were allowed to get adrift and ultimately ground. With the falling tide, however, a number of boats were seen to ground and remain ashore until the tide rose in the afternoon. These included an A.L.C., motor boat and a lifeboat. Other power boats broke down. Nevertheless, the embarkation, much hindered by the lop, proceeded satisfactorily. As further destroy- ers and sloops arrived, they were directed to lower their motor boats and whalers as this had not already been done, began to subside and with the rising tide conditions for these boats were quite invaluable. About noon, the lop embarkation very greatly improved, more boats were sent in and more boats floated off and matters were proceeding very well, when the gun at La Panne started to shell the beaches and fore hore with great accuracy. A certain number of light craft were sunk. The A.L.C. broke down and was towed away by a steamer. MOSQUITO, destroyers and sloops proceeded westward clear of the firing. 57/
CONFIDENTIAL. Page 19. Operation "DYNAMO" - Narrative of Events. Friday, 31st May (continued). 57. Rear Admiral Wake-Walker was able to make a survey of the general conditions of the beaches, and at 1130 the Vice Admiral received a signal from him stating that the majority of the pulling boats were broached to and without crews, conditions on the beaches being very bad owing to a freshening shore wind, only small numbers being embarked. Under present conditions any large scale embarkation from beach impractic- able. Motor boats could not get close in. He considered only hope of embarking any number was at Dunkirk, and further stated he would attempt to beach ship to form a lee to try to improve conditions. Simultaneously with this bad news the Vice Admiral received a signal from S.N.O. Dunkirk to the effect that Dunkirk was being continuously and heavily bombarded and that the enemy artillery were gradually finding the range of the loading berth. He stated he wished only to enter ships which were necessary for the flow of troops. This latter signal fortified the Vice Admiral in his decision to suspend the sailing of personnel vessel to Dunkirk until the accumulation of those en route had been evened out. 58. One group of minesweepers who, up to this time had been working continuous round trips between Sheerness and La Panne, were diverted to round trips between Dunkirk beach and Margate to compensate for the gradual drift of troops Westward along the Coast, and to compensate for the reduced flow of troops off Dunkirk pier consequent on the artillery bombardment. At the same time, by using Margate the duration of the round trip was reduced. The Rear Admiral, Dover, from off the coast was instructed to run a paddle minesweeper bows ashore on rising tide to be used as a bridge, deeper draught ships coming to her stern, if conditions were suitable. It was not thought, however, that this would be an effective measure of bridging the gap between water-line and off shore ships, as the length of a paddle minesweeper was so small compared with the length of the shallow water to be traversed. 59. During the forenoon beaches at La Panne were subjected to heavy artillery fire. Action was taken with the R.A.F. Commands to locate batteries shelling the beaches and Dunkirk in the pier and include air bombardment of these positions operation.

"A slight surf, thrown up by the onshore wind, made beaching awkward, and the use of an anchor was essential. Owing to bad seamanship, A.L.C. 5 lost her anchor and warp at the first attempt at beaching, with the result that the craft rode on much farther than was intended or desirable. She was inmediately rushed on all sides by a wild, undiscip- lined mob of French soldiers, so many of whom got aboard that the boat was grounded; and it was only by the use of considerable amount of force that a sufficient number could be got overboard, so that the craft could be got off the beach. Two very good anchors, one complete with a good long warp, were found in a derelict motor boat and these were used to replace the lost anchors before making a further trip. The second attempt to embark French troops shewed that their undisciplined behaviour was likely to imperil the safety of the craft, and it was decided to proceed farther found. up the coast to La Panne where British troops were These troops were ferried from the beach to one or other of the craft anchored offshore, at the rate of approximately 3 trips per hour."

I also discussed with the Brigadier, the need for ensuring that troops would be properly fallen in when the final evacuation took place to prevent so far as possible an almost inevitable ugly rush, but nothing definite could be fixed up in this matter pending the promulgation of the final plan not then received. I learnt that the Brench final evacuation was expected to take place on Friday, completing on Friday night, in view of the closing in of the enemy and as soon as I had specific instructions that my beach parties were not to be taken prisoner and in order, for psycholigical reasons, to avoid the undesirability of the Naval personnel embarking to the possible exclusion of Military personnel (even if they could do so), I left instructions that half of the personnel were to embark between midnight and the early hours of Friday. At about 2000 I again set off for La Panne intending to return that night as soon as I had seen the Rear-Admiral. There were many men embarking in the few boats available going off to about 2 or 3 destroyers and sloops lying off La Panne and I had considerable difficulty in getting a WORCESTER as his Flagship, but he himself was ashore. passage off. I eventually found the Rear-Admiral was using I decided to wait for his return which did not occur until about 2230. Meanwhile, enemy aircraft were active in the vicinity and destroyers were filling up with troops. I stressed to the Rear-Admiral the urgent need for ships and boats already obvious), and maintained to him the question of covering fire during the evacuation, but my main object was to get his concurrence which he gave me, to my embarking the following day in at motor boat off the beaches to rectify the projected recurrence of emptied boats being cast adrift. It was too late to return to Bray that night by she sailed for Bray in the early hours, disembarking me land, and after the Rear-Admiral had transferred to EXPRESS into the trawler OLVENA at about 0400(?)

From Bray I of about ten motor yachts which arrived from England. transferred to SCIMITARY motor boat and later to ANNI, These one 31/5 craft drew 6 to 7 feet and were unable to get across any of the beaches. I used ANRH as my headquarters during the day, and instructed half the yachts to proceed to La Panne and the other half to work off Bray. During the forenoon, considerable firing of empty craft towards the beach was carried out and only about two boats were allwed to get adrift and ultimately aground. with the falling tide, however, till the tide rose in the afternoon. These included the ALC, a quite a number of boats were seen to ground and remained ashore fast motor boat and a lifeboat. Other power boats broke down. Nevertheless the embarkation, much hindeedd by the lop, proceeded satisfactorily.

On approaching the beach she mas promptly boarded by a crowd of French soldiers, who so overload d the boat that she grounded. On the falling tide she was soon left high and dry, and remained stranded for some three hours. In the meantime the Coxswain of A.L.C. 17 procured the assistance of some British troops, who with fixed bayonets, drove off the French when these again attempted to rush the boat as the tide rose. These British troops, together with a few French, were taken off to a British destroyer shere the British only were disembarked. H A.4.C. 17 was ordered to take the French to a nearby reasel, on the my she ma heavily bombed and machine gurned from the air. As a result of this attack, the boat became partially flooded, so much 30 that the engines stopped.

CONFIDENTIAL --177 174 II Both ships arrived off this beach at 0100 and sent boats inshore, the ships being manceurered closer in as the tide rose. By 0615 the beaches had been cleared and "Grafton", "Grayhound", "Calcutta" and three paddle steamers sailed. (Number of soldiers approximately 100) Whilst returning to Dover "Greyhound" was detached to escort S.S. Dorrien Rose who had on board survivors of "Queen of the Channel ;ultimately berthing at Admiralty Pier at 1230 28th.May. After discharging troops Greghound proceeded to Dunkirk and went alongside the pier as soon as a billet was vacant.It was found difficult to count the troops as they came aboard and the numbers appeared to be regulated from forther down the pier where detachments were assembled and detailed. "Greyhound" embarked 681 and sailed, arriving alongside Admiralty pier at 0030. At 0.430 29th.May "GreyBound" sailed in company with Captain D.lst. Flotilla for La Panne . - in paranthesis, this was the first time I had been at S9A with my Captain D.since 15th.January. Embarkation by whaler and motor boat was carried out steadily until 1600 when an attack was made by bombers the fourth salvo of which scored two near misses, the splinters killing 20 men and wounding 70 and causing the following damage.In the engine Γo: cas air ejector and one forced lubrication pump wars put out of action. In No.3 Doller room main feed pipe was pierced resulting in complete loss of feed water, and an exhaust pipe from a feed heater punctured which caused the boiler room to fill with steam.

Dunkirk's signals had therefore a big result; but owing to the diffi- culty of passing orders at night in a shattered harbour his decision to divert vessels to the beaches had unforeseen repercussions, and it was associated with a false report that Dunkirk had fallen, and the failure of one personnel vessel and 7 skoots to reach the beaches that night. The circumstances are described below. The P/V Canterbury, which had entered Dunkirk harbour at 2000, left at 2058 with 457 troops, including 140 stretcher cases. Before leaving, she was ordered by the Sea Transport Officer to turn back ships attempting to enter Dunkirk the order, evidently intended to divert ships to the beaches, was misunderstood. In the Dunkirk road, the Canterbury passed the order to the P/V Maid of Orleans and to the H/C's Isle of Thanet and Worthing, and those vessels thereupon turned back to Dover. Later the order became definitely garbled, for the skoot Tilly (which was in company with the 4 skoots Hondsrug, Jutland, Patria and Brandaris) met the Canterbury (in company with the 2 hospital carriers) 8 or 9 miles from Dunkirk, and received from her the signal "Dunkirk is in enemy hands. Keep clear." This signal was variously recorded by some of the other skoots, as Dunkirk has fallen. Re- turn"; and all five of them, as well as the skoots Bornrif and Twente, did in fact return to the Downs, although the Jutland and the Patria first closed Nieuport Bank buoy in an unsuccessful endeavour to obtain more definite information. Some of the skoots, in turn, promulgated this false report to other ships, notably to the P/V Dorrien Rose; this ship, which received the signal, unsafe to approach Dunkirk," did at first alter course to the north- ward, but, shortly after, again set course for Dunkirk. It was subsequently thought by some of the vessels concerned that the false information had been passed by fifth columnists," though there is very little proof of this.³ Chronic shortage' of beaching boats Such was the beginning of the great build-up of ships4 and of the inaugura- tion of beach evacuation.

TUESDAY, 28TH MAY CHAP. V had all come under fire from the shore guns at Calais and Gravelines. At 0415 on the 28th May the Queen of the Channel, loaded with 904. troops, was attacked by one aircraft; 3 or 4 bombs were dropped, which straddled the ship abaft the mainmast and broke her back, the starboard propeller shaft and the rudder. By good fortune the Dorrien Rose, en route for Dunkirk, was in the vicinity and rescued the troops : the Queen of the Channel sank about 1/2 hour later. The St. Seiriol, which left Dunkirk at about 0415 with 494 troops, reached Folkestone in safety. Civilian crews feel the strain Some 45 personnel vessels were used during operation "Dynamo" Of these eight were sunk, at least six were so damaged by bombing or gunfire as to render them unfit for further use during the operation, and two were damaged in collision. Nine of the largest of these personnel vessels had been engaged prior to "Dynamo" in operations at Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne, and their Captains and crews were beginning to feel the strain when Operation "Dynamo" started. Thus it was that the Master of the Canterbury, which had already completed 2 round trips to Dunkirk in operation "Dynamo", reported, on the 28th May, that he was too worn out to make a third trip. The P.S.T.O. went on board and explained the gravity of the situation to the Master, and the Canterbury sailed at 0930 the next day. On her return voyage from Dunkirk she was bombed and damaged, and after landing her 1960 troops went into dock for repairs. In the 3 trips she made the Canterbury brought back 4,416 troops; her Master, Captain C. A. Hancock, was awarded the D.S.C. Personnel vessels not to be employed during full daylight On the 28th May, however, it had become apparent that development of the German air threat over the evacuation area, and the increasing artillery fire from shore batteries covering the sea approaches to Dunkirk, prohibited the employment of personnel and similar vessels during daylight, until the position was restored, and that evacuation from Dunkirk by day must for the moment be confined to warships and small vessels². It was not, therefore, until later in the day, that the P/V Royal Daffodil sailed for Dunkirk, and eight other personnel vessels and a hospital carrier³ received their sailing orders during the afternoon and evening. The northern Route Y was by this time in general use⁴, but ships proceeding from Dover to Dunkirk were ordered to use the southern and shorter Route Z, if the passage from Calais Bell buoy to Dunkirk could be made in darkness.

WEDNESDAY, 29TH MAY CHAP. VI out because of the men in the water. By the time the Lydd had picked up 10 survivors, the destroyer Grafton, loaded with about 800 troops from Bray beach, also arrived and ordered the Lydd to circle round her. The Gossamer went on to Dover. In the meantime, the Comfort had reached the stern portion of the wreck of the Wakeful, and finding that it had fallen over¹, went alongside the Grafton to warn her of the danger of torpedoes. It was then about 0240, and the Grafton having first sighted a small darkened vessel about 3 cables on the port quarter, signalled it to pick up survivors. Almost at once a torpedo hit the Grafton's port side and exploded; a second explosion followed, thought to be a shell or grenade hit, which wrecked the Grafton's bridge killing her Captain, Cdr. C. E. C. Robinson, R.N., and 3 others. The torpedo blew off. the Grafton's stern, abaft the after magazine bulkhead, and broke her back, but she still floated on an even keel. A German submarine, U.69 had fired the torpedo. The torpedo explosion almost swamped the Comfort; she rose, and Cdr. Fisher was washed overboard. He seized a rope's end, but with the Comfort going full speed ahead soon had to let go. The Comfort came round in a wide circle until within about 50 yards of the stricken Grafton, whereupon the Grafton and Lydd, mistaking her in the darkness for an E-boat, opened a heavy raking fire with 4-inch and Lewis guns.² Comfort cut in half When the firing ceased Cdr. Fisher, who had reached the bow of the Comfort, endeavoured to get abord; but the Lydd, having circled round to finish off the supposed E-boat, bore down at full speed and, ramming the Comfort amid- ships (it was then about 0307), cut her in half. Some of the Comfort's crew attempted to spring aboard the Lydd, but the Lydd, mistaking them for boarders, opened up with rifle fire. Two men were, however, taken off the rammed vessel and it was then discovered that she was the Comfort. Altogether, the number saved from this most tragic occurrence, shrouded in the darkness of the night, were only 5, of which 4 were survivors from the Wakeful. As the Grafton then appeared able to look after herself, the Lydd set course for Ramsgate. When the Comfort went down Cdr. Fisher again sank, but he came to the surface and, after swimming about until 0515, was picked up by a boat lowered from the Norwegian S.S. Hird, which was en route from Dunkirk to England with about 3,500 troops and refugees on board. Grafton sunk In the meantime, at 0400, the personnel ship Malines, which was returning empty from Dunkirk, heard S OS signals; she placed herself alongside the torpedoed Grafton and transferred the destroyer's 800 troops. "The Master handled his ship with extreme skill," reported the acting Captain of the Grafton, Lieut. H. C. J. McRea, R.N. It was now 0430, just before sunrise, and the destroyers Javelin, Icarus, Vanquisher, Intrepid and Ivanhoe, en route from Dover to Dunkirk, sighted the sinking Grafton. The Ivanhoe went to her assistance and embarked the I On the 30th May the corvette Sheldrake was ordered to destroy the Wakeful's asdic apparatus. She found the Wakeful completely capsized with her stern resting on the bottom. As, by then, information was received that the area had been mined, the Shel- drake, to minimise the risk, sank the wreck by gunfire and a pattern of depth charges. 2 Later the Grafton's fire was shifted to another vessel further away on the port quarter, which was observed to blow up with a bright flash. This may well have been the E-boat. 37

THURSDAY, 30TH MAY CHAP. VII German battery. When the Bourrasque was about 5 miles north of Nieuport buoy a shock was felt, followed by one more violent; smoke rose from the tor- pedo firing platform and there was a big escape of steam. The ship stopped and the electricity failed. It was difficult to say if the ship was seriously damaged; there was a breach in the deck and water was entering some com- partments, but it was not possible to get to the engine room toassess the damage there. During this time, not unnaturally, a certain degree of panic, which had to be controlled, reigned among this mixed crowd of passengers; some of them threw themselves into the water, while others lowered the boats and threw themselves into them in such numbers that they sank, even the rafts. Order was, however, restored. The Branlebas was approaching. It soon became evident, however, that the Bourrasque was doomed, and abandon ship" was ordered¹. At 1625 the French torpedo boat Branlebas, which had been 4 cables astern of the Bourrasque, saw a heavy explosion take place in the Bourrasque which disappeared from view in a column of smoke and water. When the column subsided the Bourrasque appeared to have broken in two and was sinking rapidly. She had apparently struck a French mine. The Branlebas, which had already embarked 300 troops from Dunkirk picked up 100 survivors, the drifter Ut Prosim 250, and the drifter Yorkshire Lass (assisted by an English motor launch) 194. At 0530 next morning the motor vessel Bat, en route for Dunkirk, took off 15 naked and oil-covered survivors from the capsized wreck of the Bourrasque. It is officially considered by the French Admiralty that the Bourrasque was sunk by a mine, but her Captain was of the opinion that her sinking was the result of one or more shell hits. Troops embark at the double Following the disastrous air attacks on massed shipping on the 29th May S.N.O., Dunkirk, decided on the 30th May that only one destroyer at a time should enter Dunkirk and secure alongside the east pier. This policy was adhered to throughout the forenoon and early afternoon. At about 1700 Captain Tennant turned over the duties of S.N.O., Dunkirk, to Commander G. O. Maund, R.N., and went by car to G.H.Q. at La Panne "to confer with Lord Gort. Cdr. Maund says: "Towards the close of the day [i.e. the 30th] a great number of ships had arrived, and I accordingly decided to accept the risk of further losses, and ordered the vessels waiting in the roads to proceed alongside and embark troops. Strong air attacks were launched by the enemy, but fortunately they were mostly concentrated against wrecks in the roads. Time and again they sent waves of bombers and directed their attack, not against our ships loading troops, but only against these wrecks in the roads. We got a great deal of amusement and satisfaction from this, for loading was proceeding apace with no casualties. At the same time, I decided that the rate of embarka- tion must in some way be speeded up as the capacity of the ships now alongside was more than adequate for the rate of the flow of troops. This laid our vessels open to attack from the air. I therefore went down to the Eastern Arm and rigged up a loud speaker2 and addressed the troops in the following terms Remember your pals, boys. The quicker you get on board, the more of them will be saved.' This", continues Cdr. Maund, worked like a miracle. The I Report by Capitaine de Frégate R.

At about 2100 that evening, with the Marsayru's skipper and crew and about 200 British and French troops on board, the X. 217 left for home towing the Marsayru and a cutter. Shortly after sailing the Marsayru broke adrift, and in darkness could not be found. Next day, the 1st June, however, at 1400, S/Lt. T.E. Godman, R.N.V.R. in a Naval steam pinnace, off La Panne, sighted the Marsayru drifting with the tide and unoccupied. She was found to be in working order; the engine was started up and Sub-Lieut. Godman took an A.B. and a soldier as crew. He left Petty Officer Morrison in charge of the steam pinnace with orders to lay off and wait for the return of the Marsayru. With the dinghy in tow the Marsayru proceeded to the western end of the beach capacity. and anchored; the dinghy ferried 19 troops to her, which filled her to In the meantime the crew of the steam pinnace had embarked in the skoot Doggersbank and had left the steam pinnace anchored near Dunkirk harbour. Sub-Lieut. Godman decided to leave her there and sailed in the Marsayru for England; from her. he overtook the Doggersbank on the way and obtained some fuel and in tow waited for daylight.

HARBOUR. The increase in average lift without corresponding rise in waiting time is accounted for by the great increase in the number of personnel ships employed and the average lifts made by them on this day. The average lift per personnel ship, which on the 28th May was only 552, rose to 1,520 today. 30TH MAY. Beaches. The increase of 25 per cent in the figure for average lift without corresponding rise in waiting time, resulting in the highest men minutes ratio achieved at the beaches during the operation, is believed to have been due to :- (a) better organisation consequent upon the arrival of R.A. Dover as S.N.O. on the French coast and of Captain Howson as N.O.I.C. Beaches, together with the employment of two Commodores to take charge off shore at La Panne and Bray; (b) better discipline amongst the troops on the beaches ; (c) employment as beaching craft of the A.L.Cs. which began to arrive on the 29th, and the arrival of 12 motor boats for re- trieving abandoned pulling boats; (d) absence of enemy air attacks. Harbour. Although the rate of lift deviated little from the average, both lift and waiting time declined. This was probably the effect of the disastrous air attacks of the previous day on shipping, which resulted in only one destroyer at a time being allowed to enter Dunkırk during the forenoon and early after- noon and perhaps engendered a feeling of insecurity and a wish to get the ships away as quickly as possible. 31ST MAY.

COURT We moored against the outside of these, and it took us nearly five minutes in the dark clambering from vessel to vessel before we reached the quay-side. We reported to the Naval Control Officer, snd were told that there was nothing for us for the time being. When we explained that we had no bedding, we were told to go to "Merrie Englande". This sounded most comforting, but in fact at this point the war really began to show itself. "Merrie Englande", formerly a fun-fair, contained on the ground floor a number of bad stretcher cases lying about and breathing heavily, with nurses sitting in deck chairs beside them. All round were mounds of dirty clothes and mattresses. Upstairs, in the ball- room, was the sleeping accommodation. All the places where hammocks could be slung were already occupied, and the whole ball-room floor was vovered with men lying ,some on chairs and some on the bare boards, and packed so tightly that we could not five find room for the funx of us to sleep. We returned downstairs and found some palliasses, which we laid on the floor blood-stained side downwards, and spent a somewhat uneasy three or four hours. Monday, 3rd June.

Officer in could be oney ha nt that ed go 11th June, 19 In accordance with last nights instruction I am sending a report e the fishing fleet from the Eastern District sent for the evacuation of th tish Expeditionary Force. ed on On 30th May, shortly before 1700, I received your telephone messa so, of ould all boats capable of crossing the English Channel should be ordered to at once. I at once got in touch with suitable persons, usually the Cd wer Hannam g thirty of statistics, at different points round the coast and explained to th extreme urgency of the situation. Contact with the different stations established as under:- Wells. 1700. Yarmouth. 1915. Leigh-on-Sea. 1710. Maldon. 1935. Harwich. 1730. Burnham. 1940. Deben Estuary. 1740. West Mersea. 1945, Sheringham. 1800. Orford. 2010. Brightlingsea. 1805. At some stations it was evident that the Naval Authorities were also II in the same matter and yachts were also being detailed. Early in the day Lieut. Cator, R.N.V.R., from the Small Vessels Pool had visited Lowestoft a Yarmouth to select yachts and I remained in touch with him during his visit. the evening I visited Kessingland and found that the boats, mostly with car a engines and no reverse gear, were unsuitable for the service. This also ap to Aldeburgh. At 2110 Mr. Hannah notified that the two large Sheringham Whll boats had sailed. There was no discussion of terms or conditions. The sed fishermen simply knew they were urgently wanted and they had a pretty good id why. Some left for Lowestoft immediately they came ashore from the fishing grounds. Early on the morning of June 1st I reported on the situation to N.O Lowestoft as the little ships had to be routed, supplied with fuel and etc. by all him. He asked me to take full charge of the operations. This simplified th work and by noon 16 vessels from stations to the North of and including Lowes were ready for the first stage of their journey complete with petrol, paraffi water and 4 days provision. These sailed at 1420. Others were standing b as under orders but were eventually not required. The vessels from stations of Lowestoft came for the most part under direct orders from local naval authorities. Lists of all vessels advised by our various representatives in the attached schedules. La Volunteers for crews were not lacking and it is of passing interest tha youngest volunteer was 141, a Coastguard' S son Peter Haines, a sea scout, and the eldest man was 73 (Mr. C.A. Pegg). The latter has now returned to his crab fishing and the Coastguard's son has been appointed messenger to the 1st. Lieut, Naval Base, here. In view of the difficulty likely to be experienced by the fishermen when dealing with the Naval Authority at Harwich and Ramsgate it was B agreed that Mr. Graham should accompany the party. This proved a most Later satisfactory arrangement and his handling of the variety of problems which arose 200 called the highest praise from the fishermen. The following is his report:- 9th J 1030 "We left Lowestoft for Harwich at 1420 on 1st June in a group of sixteen Rose boats. T. Nielsen of Wells was Chief Skipper. The subsequent movements of these Q. & sixteen vessels are known up to the time they reached home ports again. It will 10th 1820. June be some time before the movements of vessels from other stations are fully known and reported by local fishery officers. One vessel, the "Boy Fred" HH.15, was in Minist company with my party for operations from 5th - 7th June. 1300. The following narrative of the movements of the sixteen and the "Boy Fred" is All V constructed from my log and from records in the Fishery Office. rts, exc 1st June. T.O.

Also, bulden consultation with Naval Authorities at Harwich it was decided that some of Han the craft were not likely to be useful, owing to age, small size, or lack of power the Fine vessels were selected to continue the voyage to Ramsgate and after standing for orders these nine vessels proceeded. 1255.

68 70 H.M.T. "DORRIEN ROSE" CARDIFF. 148 On the 22nd May, 1940 the above vessel was in the Downs loaded to with Army stores awaiting orders. She was instructed next day proceed to Dunkirk, but on approaching observed it to be in flames, and the "DORRIEN ROSE" passed three vessels outward bound, one of which signalled that it was unsafe to approach Dunkirk, so the Master reversed course and proceeded slowly outwards. At 3-0a.m. on the 28th as dawn was approaching he decided to approach Dunkirk in daylight so he set a course for Middlekerke Buoy. At 4-25a.m. on nearing the Buoy enemy aircraft suddenly attacked, several bombs were dropped and the "DORRIEN ROSE" retaliated with machine-gun fire. At 5.05 after the bombs had fallen it was observed that the M.V. "QUEEN OF THE CHANNEL" was sinking, so he proceeded to her assis- tance and was requested by the O.C. to take off troups and ship's complement, whilst the troups were being transferred the Germans repeatedly attempted to renew the attack, but were prevented from doing any further damage by bursts of fire from our machine-guns. At 5-25 all the troups and the crew of the "QUEEN OF THE CHANNEL" were safely on board the "DORRIEN ROSE" and she then proceeded to Dover where she arrived at 2-20p.m. The operation of transferring the troups was carried out expeditiously under the efficient direction of Commander M.L. Musson R.N.R. and during the passage to Dover the Commander was of great assistance in attending to the signals, spotting enemy planes and controlling the troups. On the 29th May the "DORRIEN ROSE" again proceeded towards Dunkirk and was attacked next morning at 3a.m. by two enemy motor-craft which circled the ship and sprayed her with machine-gun fire the "DORRIEN ROSE" gave as good as she received and the "E" boats ceased & I their attack and the vessel continued her passage to Dunkirk were she I arrived at 6-50a.m. She then despatched as much food stuff as possible for the rear-guard troups and left again at 12-25p.m. with o t 590 troups on board for Folkestone, she arrived at Folkestone at 8-45p.m. the same night. W d During all these aperations all the officers and members of the O crew carried out their various duties in a cool and efficient manner, in particular Gunner .W.Watson, Bo'sun .McFadden and A.B.John Upperton who were on the bridge under enemy fire. p al De jo of th twisting as I could and see we were likely up to our get anchor run down and whilst kept the the Tug underweigh were as off see our crew of the barge and the soldier the a bit, I could turning to clear the bombs.

Meanwhile the aerial had been rehoisted and an S.O.S. sent of STRATO OFF out, the four remaining boats swung out, and the troops ordered on ROUN the loud speakers to vacate the after end of the ship and walk DRN were forward, in order to life the after end as much as possible. the A slight electric wire fire was extinguished in the after the STATE HOTOR dining saloon. Pumps were started on the two after lower saloons. Reports from Carpenter shewed that water was making rapidly in the after four compartments, therefore orders were given to lower away THE ES boats and fill them. This work proceeded in good order. Y STATE OF The S.S. "DORIEN ROSE", a store ship proceeding to Dunkirk, OF was standing by and, as the weather was fine, was requested to come alongside forward and the two vessels were secured port bow to starboard bow to prevent troops all going to one side and listing the "QUEEN OF THE CHANNEL". The troops were then ordered over the rail to the other ship, this work proceeded smoothly, the lifeboats meanwhile making an extra passage, having discharged their troops into the "DORIEN ROSE". By 5.20a.m. all troops had been transferred. A further inspection was made, and water was found to be gaining in the stewards store room and engine room and by this time the bow was out of the water.

We proceeded due north from La Panne over the sandbanks into Nieuport Roads, as I had been imformed by Major P.De Havilland that the Zudycote Channel was under fire. The presence of enemy sircraft overhead prevented the destroyers sighted from stopping to receive our message. The destroyers were, however, steaming in the direction of Dunkirk, Which I assumed to be in German Hands and I assumed that they had somehow heard of the fall of Dunkirk. and were on their way to Bombard. I then decided not to return to Bray Beaches that night, because:- 1. According to my imformation there would be no troops there to receive our stores. 2. If they wanted food at La Panne the Alice was still aground with 250 tons aboard, which I was unable to destroy by fire due to the proximity of the Able Tasman with munitions aboard. 3. Major De Havilland's message was still underlivered. ,Kaap Falga had a deck cargo of over 20 tons and the crew of Alice and the other four soldiers took up nearly all the available space. Kaap Falga reported arrival in Downs at 0300/29th through H.M.S. Holdfast on examination service. NO orders were received and about 1200/31 I steamed Kaap Falga to Dover, where I reported to the Dynamo Operation Room.

Havilland of G.H.Q came on board with instructions for Kaap Falga to go to sea 25 and try and intercept a destroyer so that he could report by m/t to the War Office the seriousness of the situation. No. Destroyer would stop so Kaap Falga returned to the Downs and reported arrival. Then to Dover where stores were cleared by 09.00 1st.

Due to the possibility of this defect Kaap Falga was not used on the night of June 2nd. the last night of the evacuation. Sailed for Poole 14.30/3 arrived 12.00/5 PACIFIC A Lieut.Comdr.

Pacific proceeded at 14.00 leaving discharged dutch crew at Brownses Island. Was ordered to anchor at Yarmouth for the night. Sun. 26th. May. Weighed at 0.430 and proceeded for Portsmouth Harbour at 09.3.0 Being Senior officer of the Party I went ashore and arranged for stores and swinging etc. No sailing orders were obtainable until about 19.00 when we were ordered to complete swinging as soon as possible and sail at once for Newhaven. Accordingly sailed at dark with Amazone Atlantic Zeus & Pascholl in company (wega and San Antonio) has broken down) Monday 27th. May. Arrived off Newhaven at 04.00 and was ordered to anchor outside Lay at anchor all day awaiting orders. At dark received orders to sail for downs in company with a party of skoots that had previously arruved Newhaven. Weighed and Proceeded Tues. 28th. May Arrived Dover about 08.00 and berthed alongside 09.00. Went ashore and having ascertained the possible nature of the operation made arrangements for sandbags first aid outfits etc., to be supplied to my party of Skoots by noon However an air raid warning intervened and none of these stores had been received 13.00 received orders to sail forthwith. Sailed about 13.00 and took over a large lifeboat at sea from one of the slower skoots who was dropping behind. Pacific gradually overhauled the other four skoots and I think was the first of this party to reach La Panne. From No. 6 E Buoy we proceeded at slow speed 180° straight for the beach where in answer to our hail a shout was raised by the soldiers on the beach. The intention waswas to turn to Port and anchor off. However partly due to the fact that the larger ships were closer in than I anticipated but mainly due to my leadsman failing to obtain any sounding at all we grounded on a bank of sand before we had turned 90° This occured at 23.00 We sent the large Lifeboat ashore with 3 of our 5 hands and instructed them to take off men to other ships as with the wind blowing inshore it was not certain that we should get off, With the remaining two hands we laid out a kedge on our Port quarter. By going full astern and heaving on the kedge we got afloat when the tide rose at 02.00 29th. May. The ships lifeboat and skiff was then sent inshore and 1 officer and 7 men were brought off to Pacific before the boats lost touch with her in the dark They did howver bring several par ies off to other ships. Verbal orders had been received before leaving Dover to leave shore before03.30 being anxious to recover boats and men Pacific remained inshore till daylight finally sailing at 04.30 when it seemed liekly that the boats and crews had been embarked by other ships. Rerurned to Dover by route Y arriviving about 16.30 and disembarked troops. No orders were immediately available but verbal orders were subsequently received to embark water and provisions and sail about 22.00 Application was made for the balance of complument and I was informed that I should be sent 3 hnds from Montvera. These did not arrive until 02.40 at which time Pacific sailed for Dunitirk. 30th. May. The morning of 30th May was misty at about 08.20 when crossing Le Dyck bank there was a violent underwater explosion about two cables on the Starboard bow No aircraft was about and it is supposed that it was a torpedo which had exploded on the Bank. No vessel was in sight Arrived off the beach 09.00 about 1 mile E of Dunkirk and anchored close in. We had no boat of our own but collected two from a skoot that was just leaving, conditions as regards surf were pretty good but boats very waterlogged and no boat was obtainable all day. By 16.00 my crew were exhausted by pulling those boats in and out from the hore all as I had 30 Officers and 620 men aboard I decided to sail. We might have had many more in half the time if a motor boat had been available. Accordingly sailed at 16.00 When crossing the Inner Ratel Bank was attacked by by two of a flight of three fighters with machine guns. They scored a few hits on the ship and injured nobody. Had nothing but a pistol with which to reply.
CONFIDENTIAL page 98 97 ORANJE'S R.O.D./1 dated 10th June 1940 (cont) commandeered. It was now about an hour after high water and ORANJE proceeded/ as close inshore as possible, anchored, and then beached stern first, drawings of the ship showing that this would not damage the screw or rudder. A line, consisting of two 120 fathom lengths of 2" manila, was then run inshore and hauled as tau a.s possible and ORANJE's dinghy was run along this, as no other boats were then availabbe; the disembarkation of provisions was then started about 5 packages at as time. 10. Two large boats were obtained about noon, and at 1700 the Royal Engineers provided 6 bridge building pontoons. with this number of boats available It was possible to disembark the provisions with reasonable celerity. Intermittent Air Raids took place throughout the day, but although a number of bom bs fell close to the ship, no damage was done nor were there any casuals By midnight when about 150 tons had been disembarked and were still on the beach, it was decided between the embarkation officer and mygelf that it would be better to stop disembark ing provisions and embark troops, sailing as soon as the tide rose sufficiently to float the ship. 11. Thursday May 30th. ORANJE weighed at 0415 with over 500 troops on board and proceeded for the Downs via the Kwinte Bank and West Hinder buoys. On sporoaching the Kwinte Bank buoy 8 wreck was observed about half 8 mile westward of the buoy, which gave the appearance of being the bows of destroyer protruding about 20 feet out of the water. On arrival in The Downes ORANJE was ordered by the examination steamer to proceed to Margate where we went alongside the pier at 1720 and disembarked troops. 1 A.B. was discharged sick. ORANJE completed with fuel, water, and provisions, embarked two Lewis guns and ammunition, took two boats in tow, and sailed for Dunkirk again at 2230. Owing to too short a tow, ORANJE having no more hawsers on board, the boats broke adrift in the vicinity of the Elbow buoy, and as they could not be immediately located they were abandoned. There were no crews on board. 12. Friday 31st Mey. ORANJE arrived off No. West buoy, Dunkirk Channel at dawn and proceeded towards Le Panne. There was considerable air activity along the coast but. ORANJE was unmolested. Off Dunkirk Harbour ORANJE was closed by a destroyer believed to be EXPRESS, and told to close destroyer H 11 (BASILISK) and work under his orders: ORANJE anchored off Le Panne in the same position as the previous day.

Operations in which Sheldrake has been involved during the evacuation from Dunkirk has enabled certain officers and men to distinguish themselves in H.M.Ship under my command. The circumstances are outlined below so that the necessary action may be taken by you should you concur. 2. Sheldrake was ordered by C-in-C. Nore. to proceed to the KWINTE BUOY and destroy the Asdic Apparatus of one of our destroyers wrecked in the vicinity 3. On arrival 'Wakeful' was found to be lying completely capsized with her stern resting on the bottom and only the forefoot visible, which appeared from oil marks on the waterline to be seni buoyant. A Boat under the command of my First Lieutènant, Lieutenant HUGH WILLIAM MACKENZIE ROSE, R.N. was sent over and placed a berthing wire running from the bull ring round the keel, to the bull ring the other side. It was intended to hang depth charges on this 'necklace' and countèrmine them with other depth charges, using Bickfords fuze. 4. For the second trip with two depth charges, it was necessary to tow the whaler to the wreck oh the end of a grass and to pump out oil fuel from Sheldrake to counteract the effects of ground swell and strong tide, which made operations difficult, particularly on the weather aide. Good seamanship and stout hearts succeeded in placing one charge on either bow in the required spot without damage to the boat. Throughout the operation all were acutely aware that we were only 10 miles from Dunkirk with aircraft of both sides passing the ship at intervals, and that at bomb in the vicinity of a boat would have countermined the depth charges that they were placing. 5. On the whalers return to the ship for the demolition charges, C-in-C. Nore's signal "Cancel my 1044 area now mined" was received. It confirmed our own fears that we had been working in a mined area. It seemed a pity to leave the job half done and it was decided to sink the wreck by gunfire using D.A. fuze asnear the required area as possible, and if the ship sunk before the charges placed had been exploded, to fire them with a countermining pattern of depth charges. She sank inside ten mintes, and using the escaping bubbles from the punctured stem as an aiming mark, a pattern was dropped, of which the centre charge produced a plume that told us that the desired effect had been achieved. The only damage to Sheldrake was a few light fittings on the Stokers Messdeck caused by the capatan engine 'whipping' on the light deck above. addition to Lieutenant Rose I wish particularly to mention 6.

At this time I got a signal I at this part of doing essential work and that there were I was beaches were to proceed to Dunkirk but that as many men signal, and the coast to be evacuated I decided to ignore the other transports proceed with the evacuation. There were at most inadequate and the other only about 3 power boats of doubtful efficiency were and/cross arrived. The embarkation arrangements were first no channel boa on the beach but later a paddle minesweeper boats and Royal Engineers Ferry Boats do with very few seamen ratings present boats consisted of a few service boats mercantile between the loto It was only due to the magnificent work of the Army units at this part of the beach who were admirably led by their Officers. that embarkation was able to proceed at any sort of speed, although the work of the naval officers 10 were present in few power boats available was beyond praise. There appeared to be no centralised control either of boats or beach. During the afternoon and evening there was a certain amount of enemy air activity but enemy planes always moved away when A/A fire was brought to bear on them, and there were frequent visitations by British Fighters which appeared to have an excellent deterrant effect. No bombs were dropped in my vicinity. At about 2000 a short but heavy artillery fire was brought to bear on the part of the beach near to Dunkirk and many men started to swim out to the ships or come out in very inadequate boats. I weighed anchor in the "Royal Eagle" - as the tide was approaching high tide and proceeded as close in shore as possible to pick up these men. At about 2200 when no further men were coming to the ship and "Royal Eagle" was packed to nearly full capacity - i.e. every covered in part of ship full and men also on the upper deck forward and aft, I decided to weigh and proceed to Sheerness rather than Margate on account of the ships requirements in oil and water which at Margate would have taken too long to complete. I consider now that on this day I committed a serious error or judgement as in view of the poor embarkation facilities I should have ordered "Royal Eagle" to ground herself in shore at low water and fill up my boats running between the ship and shore on a line and then have floated off and proceeded as the tide rose, or alternatively I might have grounded /Royal Eagle" to form a pier to facilitate embarkation by other ships when they arrived. I consider now on looking back that the provision of some sort of pier should have been a matter of primary importance. In view of the shelling of the beaches from the Westward I decided to proceed back by route "y" particularly as this was the only route known by experience. Shortly after leaving a report was received of M.T.B.'s off Bray but I then considered that it was too late to turn back. After passing Middelkerke Buoy the ship was attacked by an aircraft firing machine gun but I gave orders that no firing was to take place so that thereshould be less chance of giving away to ships position to M.T.B. The ship was not hito During the night I passed three small dark vessels which I believed were French Torpedo Boats. I did not challenge but kept guns trained on them. About 0230 on 31st May there were signs of firing about 10 miles astern and about five minutes later a tremendous column of flame rose from the water. I consider now that I was to blame in using route "Y" and that I unduly hazarded the ship by 80 doing. On arrival at Sheerness at 0600 I found that in response to my request every possible arrangement had been made for the reception of the troops and the cleaningofuelling, and provisioning of the ship. The ships company had had practically no sleep for about 48 hours and had been working under conditions of high tension and extreme discomfort and the fact that such excellent arrangements had been made by Sheprness was very much appreciated. I cannot speak too highly of the spirit and sense of duty shown by the officers and ships company. On both nights the whole of the ships ...commodation

Dynams 146. 355 H.M.S. "WILDFIRE", Sheerness. June 5th, 1940. Sir, I have the honour to submit the following report of certain proceedings affecting H.M.T. "Strathelliot" on May 30th and 31st, June 1st and 2nd 1940. Acting on orders received from P.M.S.O., Sheerness, I repaired on board H.M.T. "Strathelliot" at 10.30 May 30th with instructions to escort a convoy of motor cruisers to Ramsgate. The executive signal was received at 1410, anchor was immediately weighed and the convoy was picked up at 1430. The route ordered was via 33 QZS, but as certain boats had proceeded into the Princes Channel, I ordered course to be laid through that channel so that we should not lose touch with them. At 1550 we hove to and took in tow two disabled boats - the "Skylark" and Court Belle II" - proceeding at 1635. At 1800, we again hove to to await boats astern, and they coming up, we took in tow the "Mary Rose", proceeding at 1840. At 1845 we were again compelled to stop, as certain other vessels were in trouble, but these being taken in tow by others, we got under way again at 1910. Our orders were to close the Examination Vessel off the N. Goodwin L.V. for instructions, but, as we approached we received orders by R/T to prodeed to Ramsgate and to report to the N.O.I.C. there. We arrived off Ramsgate about 2200 and came to anchor - ordering all motor boats to make fast to the trawler. I then went aboard motor boat "Forty Two", whose officer was a Lieutenant R.N.R. in aommand of the boats and put off to search for three boats lost in the darkness. These we fortunately picked up near the Gull Buoy and escorted to the "Strathelliot". I then went ashore in "Forty Two" and reported to the N.O.I.C. at 2305. I was then ordered ny him to escort the convoy to Dunkerque, but having received orders from Sheerness to return, I requested permission to telephone Sheerness for confirmation. This being given, I collected orders, route orders and charts, being ordered to sail immediately. I then returned to the "Strathelliot" and asked the Lieutenant R.N.R. to call all the officers in command of motor boats to the trawler. They were then given orders and charts so that in the event of their losing touch with the escort, they would be able to proceed alone. I arranged to hoist a red lantern of low visibility in the trawler, so that boats could keep in touch with us in the dark and slao arranged certain signala which were to be made on our siren to cause the convoy to heave to, to proceed or to ease down. I gave orders to be prepared to move off at 0200 and the officer returned to their boats. There were eight defective boats to be towed and arrangments were made as to which hoats were to do the towing. In the darkness however, it was impossible to hold to these arrangements, but all the defective boats were taken in tow by others. Anchor was weighed at 0205 and the convoy proceeded to sea. At the North Goodwins L.V., the convoy was hove to and all ships accounted for; course then being set vis U.V. and W. buoys for Dunkerque roads. The seas had by this time become very heavy, due to a The towing was causing considerable damage to the boats, although speed strong N.W. breeze and the boat's crews were suffering great discomfort. was reduced to two knots and at 0640 the "Skylark's" towing bollard tore away and she was taken in tow stern first - there being no other point forward at which the towing wire could be secured.
- 2 - 379 356 bringing was entering trawler's counter, her stem was damaged At her 0730, up against the "Mary the Rose" reported that, due to a following sea and water decided that faster than it could be pumped and bailed out. I therefore as she was unlikely to be of any use at Dunkerque-even presuming we could get her there-she should be abandoned and sunk. I therefore ordered the rest of the convoy to proceed under the Lieutenant R.N.R.. We then took off the crew of the "Mary Rose" and fired one tray of Lewis gun ammunition into her water line, finally breaking her up by ramming her to prevent her becoming a danger to navigation. We then proceeded after the convoy and picked up another boat which was being towed. At 0820, the "Skylark" sustained further damage to her stern due to the strain on the tow caused by the heavy seas, and, as she was in danger of foundering, her crew were taken off and a cargo of ladders and petrol and all serviceable stores aboard transferred to the "Strathelliot" - the boat being them cut adrift. We then closed trawler "KO" and semaphored her to sink this boat which she did. At 0845, we took in tow the "Malden Annie IV", nut at 0855 her Port mooring bollard tore away and the towing hawser was then secured to the Starboard. This was showing signs of parting, and finally tore away at 0940. The hawser was then secured to a small hook. At 1000 we closed the trawler "Grimsby Town" and sent a message ashore by her reporting our position. A mechanic was put aboard the "Malden Annie IV" to try to effect repairs to her magneto, but this was found to be impossible. A hawser was then passed right round underneath her and was secured on deck, the towing hawser being bent to this. This hawser parted at 1215, when "Malden Annie IV" reported that water was entering due to damage received forward. A new hawser was passed and the vessel towed stern first. A great deal of damage had been caused to her superstructure by heavy seas crashing her into the trawler, but having lost two ships, I was loth to lose a third. The tow parted twice more in the course of the afternoon, but the vessel was eventually taken to Dunkerque. I would like to mention the conduct of the officer in command of the "Malden Annie IV" who worked extremely hard under very trying conditions to bring his ship to port. At 1530 we were proceeding down the channel into Dunkerque when a destroyer came out firing on and being fired on by batteries ashore. It was impossible for us to steer out of her line of fire, due to our tow, but fortunately, although shells were falling close to us and planes were trying to bomb the destroyer, we sustained no damage the mearest shell being about 70 yards on our starboard beam. On two other occasions between 1530 and our arrival off Dunkerque but sustained no hits. We came to anchor off Dunkerque beaches ( as beaches at 1620, we received salvoes of bombs intended for destroyers close in as our draft would allow) and eventually attracted the attentior of a motor launch manned by Sea Scouts. They came alongside and we asked over the side and she was towed ashore to assist. From this and them to bring us some troops from the beach. We put our ship's boat another motor launch we eventually received a total of fifty-four French soldiers. unable to further boatloads of soldiers, and at 1920 we Although we waited for a total of two and a half hours we were deceded get not any knowing the state of the tide and being in danger Had of settling there been on possibility of getting any more men, we would there. waited that, the sand, we would weigh and proceed to Sheerness. have but there were any insufficient small boats to supply the ships
