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.

Red List (1939–40) — OCR
87 records87 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.

Ship Details
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 The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

COCKLE BAWLEY BOATS - (continued) Authority - R.O.II, pp.331, 339. R.O.III, p.313. T.0.9144 The following awards were made: D.S.C. S/Lieut. M.H.B. Solomen, R.N.V.R. [This officer also went to Dunkirk in the tug Fossa, and in the Seaplane Tender 243.] Vice-Admiral, Dover refers to the crews of the Cockle Bawley boats in his report (D.R.) as follows: "The conduct of the crews of these cockle boats was exemplary. They were all volunteers who were rushed over to Dunkirk in one day, probably none of them had been under gunfire before and certainly none of them had ever been under Naval discipline. These boats were Thames estuary fishing boats which never left the estuary and only one of their crews had been further afield than Ramsgate before. In spite of this fact perfect formation was maintained through- out the day and night under the control of a Sub- Lieutenant, R.N.V.R. in command of the Unit and all orders were carried out with great diligence even under actual shell fire and aircraft attack". 195

442 Half a dozen Thames river launches resembling nothing so much as the upper decks of elongated motor-buses with their rows of slatted seats, but given a tang of the waterside by rows of white-painted lifebuoys slung around the upper rails. The very names of these latter craft are redolent of the quiet of Richmond, Teddington and Hampton Court; "Skylark", "Elizabeth" and "Queen Boadicea". A strange flotilla indeed to be taking an active part in what has been described as "the greatest naval epic in history". The crews and their officers too were as miscellaneous an assembly as the craft they manned. First arrived a trickle of R.N.V.R. Sub-Lieutenants direct from training school, taken from their class-rooms often in the midst of a lecture on the "practical pilotage" they were soon to put to such good account. Many of these were entering a naval dock-yard for the first time in their lives, yet they clambered over the little ships, bawled for their requirements in food, fuel and water and set to work to prepare for the task in hand, as if to the manner born. Next came another thin trickle - this time junior Royal Navy officers who but a short time before were midshipmen on war vessels of various types; little more than schoolboys, yet each possessed of that indescribable sangfroid and cheerful discipline which is the hall-mark of the British naval officer whatever his age or rank. Lastly - and only a matter of minutes before the time of departure - came the crews; Royal Fleet Reserve men this first batch - tough, stout-hearted and disciplined. No time to pick or choose; stoker ratings first, to man the little engines - one man to each boat; then the seamen - "Swarm over those boats men and wherever you find an officer aboard ask him if he needs a crew! Three men to the larger boats and two each to the smaller". 2

444 succession of British shipping as motley in its larger form as were the motor-boats themselves. Tramps, cargo ships, barges, drifters, tugs, Dutch schoots, British warships, even river ferry-boats such as carry one's car across the Thames at Woolwich and elsewhere. Of individual acts only a few can be given; every crew, every man almost, experienced some incident or another. some adventure that could fill a whole small volume on its own. And yet what can a writer do when such men report such events in the tersest of language such as "heavily shelled whilst at work"? A few reminiscenses may be given here in the hope that some idea of the work may be gathered by anyone who cares to piece them together. Here are some extracts from a letter written by Sub. Lt. W.R. Williams, R.N. which serve to illustrate that merry sangfroid which has been referred to earlier:- "So I proceeded by compass (error 20°) to the Calais - Gravelines sands and anchored a few hundred yards out. I was pulled ashore in the boat, which waited for me while I walked inland in search of Allied soldiers. After about a quarter of a mile I saw two men silhouetted against the glow of a distant blaze. I approached to within a few yards and hailed them. I heard one of them say "Lieber Gott!" and they turned around and commenced to shoot at me. By this time I had come to the conclusion that I was in enemy territory, so I hid behind a dune and shot back. Fortunately it was a very dark night and the Germans could not see me properly, while I could see their out- lines quite well. I shot the one on the right twice and he fell without a sound. The other one screamed when I fired two bullets at him, and he dropped whatever he was carrying and then fell and lay still. By this time I heard nearby shouts so, deeming discretion to be the better part of valour, I ran at top speed back to the boat and my ship was under way at her full six knots within less than five minutes." - "I proceeded back to Dunkirk as soon as I had landed the soldiers at Ramsgate and arrived just in time to catch the dusk bombing and shelling. There was a lot of shrapnel falling on the beach and I was greatly impressed by the Tommies and Poilus who waded out into the sea and helped the sailors with the boats. Nowhere did Isee any signs of cracking morale or anything but cheerfulness. - "I went back for the last time the same evening.

CONFIDENTIAL. Dynam. 97. H.M.S. Tynedale. 52 c/o Alex. GOvan Stephen & Sons Ltd. Glasgow. 7th. June 1940 Sir, In accordance with verbal instructions received from the Commodore's secretary R.N. Barracks, Chatham, I have the honour to make the following report of proceedings of H.M.S. Doggers- bank for the period Sunday 26th. May to Wednesday 5th. June, in connection with the evacuation of military personnel from Dunkirk beaches. 2. I took over the Dutch Scoot "Doggersbank" from her owner captain at Gravesend and commissioned her with a crew of one other Lieutenant R.N. and 9 ratings. We sailed P.M. for Sheerness where we secured alongside at about 2000. Stores adequate in quantity and description were all ready to be loaded into the ship on arrival, the whole organisation being extremely good. Ship was swung at 0930 next mOrning and we sailed at I600 for Dunkirk, anchoring in the Thames estuary during the hours of tark darkness. 3. We arrived at Dunkirk about noon on Tuesday 27th. and were told to proceed to Brai Beach where I grounded the ship with a kedge anchor payed out from astern. Our draught (6ft.) proved however to be too great to enable the soldiers to wade out to us so the life-boat and life saving raft were hoisted out and used to ferry the men from beach to ship. The boats were inx immediately mobbed on arrival inshore and swamped. They were righted and bailed out but considerable difficulty was experienced in preventing too many men trying to embark each trip. Later in the day the Army officers ashore organised their men and military police prevented the men rushing the boats and shot anybody who attempted to do so. This very much expediated the embarkation By about 2000 Ihad embarked some 450 men most of whom had been on the beach 3 days without food or water though a great many had water bottles full of Whisky. Our stores and fresh water were consequently finished within an hour. 5. At this time there was a great lack of boats on the beach so I considered that I would be most usefully employed going as close inshore as I was able, colecting a full load X and then transferring them to bigger craft further out which I accordingly did, collecting water and biscuits when alongside Destroyers. 6. About this time Imanaged to pick up some abandoned boase but had not got the hands to work them so Ijoined all my lines to-gether, sent one end to the beach where I had it hauled up beyond high water mark, the other end I secured to my life- saving raft which I anchored as far out as my length of lines would allow me. We then proceeded as close inshore as we could, picked up the grass and used it as a ward between ship and shore. The soldiers were very reluctant to wade out to the boats after dark so embarkation became slow despite the guest warp. I had however collected another load by the morning and as there were no Destroyers or other larger craft near the beach I was on I had to take my load up to La Pan. As far as I....

217 205 OPERATION DYNAMO ENCLOSURE NO. 3 B SHIP:- M.D. AURA OFFICER:- SUB. LIEUT. M.A. CHODZKO, R.N.V.R. REPORT I. Sr On Saturday, June 3rd, I received instructions to take charge of the Motor Launch AURA and proceed to a beach East of Dunkirk Harbour. Left Dover Harbour towed by drifter GIRL GLADYS at 15.30. Before leaving it had been reported to me that the AURA'S engine was not operating successfully, in as much that she would not come astern. As the weather appeared to be favourable there seemed no reason why the operation could not be carried out. X We shipped from GIRL GLADYS in the proximity of 5W Buoy and proceeded Eastwards. I was able to tow cutters from one of the Paddle Steamers to the beach on this first trip inwards. The time was 0100 - About 100 British troops were transferred from the shore to various vessels. The engine was giving considerable trouble so that shortly after 0215, June 4th, it failed completely. The launch was then manoeuvred towards some Thames Sailing Barges, and we endeavoured to repair the engine. On examination we found that a defective dynamo was causing the trouble, and as operations were ordered to cease at 0300, I decided to abandon AURA at 0245. I transferred the crew to a dinghy which we found, and then managed to get aboard a "paddle steamer" which was getting under way. All members of my crew behaved excellently throughout the twelve hours. REPORT II. 2nd On Sunday, June 4th, I repaired aboard the drifter YORKSHIRE LASS in the capacity of Skipper. I received orders to proceed to Dunkirk Harbour. Leaving Dover at about 1515, we arrived off Dunkirk at 0000. Off the S. Foreland Ljeutenant Commander Prior, Royal Navy, was transferred from the drifter .UTPROSIM aboard the YORKSHIRE LASS. There was little delay in arriving alongside and we started embarking French troops before 0030. Another drifter arrived alongside our vessel so we transferred our troops and carried on loading. By 00115 we seemed to be practically full. There appeared to be no more troops on our portion of the jetty and I dispatched a soldier to see if we could collect another 50 men. Other ships were arriving alongside, so by 0130 we were steaming out of the Harbour. During the whole operation, and during the passage, the troops behaved in an orderly manner. During the homeward passage the vessel developed a hot bearing, and as it was just daybreak, I signalled SUN XI of to take us in tow until repairs were effected. Within three quarters an hour we proceeded under our own power and arrived in Harbour at 0830 Monday, June 5th. The whole ships company were highly efficient in their duty, and on investigation 100 French troops and 3 British Tommies had been transported. The British Tommies reported as having lost their division, and had only arrived in Dunkirk on Saturday. Report ends.

All ships were underweigh within a few minutes of the signal being decoded and proceeded towards the North Goodwin. The passage through the Edinburgh Channels under dark night conditions was not easy and I consider credit is due to the Commanding Officers of the ships for the way in which they were handled. The signal was cancelled before ships reached North Goodwin and they returned to normal duties. Early on 28th May ships were ordered to return to Sheerness forthwith and land surplas crew not required for embarking troops. I had previously issued a memorandum on the steps to be taken if ships were used as troop carriers so that ships were ready with the necessary organisation and special arrangements. Later only two ships were stated to be required and I detailed "Royal Eagle" and "Crested Eagle" and myself decided to go to the "Royal Eagle". Ships sailed from Sheerness at 1400 and were ordered to proceed to the Downs. On arrival at the Downs I reported the arrival of both ships to the Vice Admiral, Dover and also endeavoured to find out from every ship visible in the Downs if there were any orders for me. There were a number of troopers and hospital ships present so I put ships to short notice for steam and anchored for the night. There was considerable activity amongst the transports during the early morning so that I again asked for instructions and was then told to proceed to Dunkirk by route "y" (Goodwin to West Hinder). I stationed "Crested Eagle" astern and proceeded at 1030 high speed. On approaching the Belgian Coast I noticed a few rounds from Shore Batteries falling round ships ahead of me but the firing was not at all intense. On approaching Dunkirk I saw a large number of men on the-beaches as far as La Panne so not being able to get any instructions from anyone proceeded to the spot where British Troops appeared thickest and anchored at about 1530 close inshore to embark them. I sent "Crested Eagle" to Dunkirk as I felt that on account of my original re-appeared and anchored about 2 miles East of me and contenced instructions ships might have been wanted there - however she soon embarking troops. At about 1630 German planes were sighted and bombing attack on ships and beaches. The "Royal Eagle" was only "Royal Eagle" opened a heavy fire - the plane carried out a high hit but a Drifter near was set on fire and HaMaSa proceeded her own steam.

No instructions were received but an Examination Vessel called alongside with a set of directions to minesweepers and paddle minesweepers to proceed to a point 1 1/2 miles East of Dunkirk at 2200 to embark troops. I endeavoured to obtain confirmation that "Royal Eagle" was meant to be included in the signal - but not obtaining this I signalled that I intended to proceed and left at 1530. "Royal Eagle" was the first ship to arrive off the beaches at 2200 and I directed the Commanding Officer to anchor a full 1½ miles from the breakwater so as to leave room for the ships coming on to anchor astern. On arrival a French drifter with some French soldiers arrived alongside and disembarked them but by 2320 I had seen no sign of any boats although by then some six or more sweepers had arrived and I made a signal to V.A. Dover to this effect. A signal was received that all sweepers were to be underway and clear of Dunkirk by 0300, and I presumed that this was on account of the shelling which was fairly continuous, though in the dark not very accurate. It seemed as if the enemy had registered on a wreck a few hundred yards away from "Royal Eagle" as most of the shells fell between "Royal Eagle" and the wreck or just around the wreck. "Royal Eagle" was spattered with shell splinters and I kept the ship's company below the upper deck as much as possible.

I feel that in his original account Lieutenant Commander Booth has hardly done justice to the splended work accomplished by himself, his officers and ship's company. The ship was machine gunned on her way into Dunkirk and under continuous bombing and machine gun fire for many hours before being hit and also later whilst /lers on fire and whilst endeavours were being made to rescue iat the wounded. I was particularly impressed by his account of the behaviour of Sub. Lieutenant M.Roberts RNR who 2. encouraged his gun's crews to keep up to their guns under continuous machine gun and bombing attacks - the guns and gun positions being entirely unprotected - and continued careful and controlled fire until practically the whole of the ammunition was exhausted. Lieutenant Commander Booth considers that the accurate pom-pom fire was undoubtedly the reason that the ship remained unhit for so long. It appears to me also that the behaviour of Lieutenant Commander Booth himself, in his general handling of the ship and situation is deserving of great praise. COMMANDER R.N. S.O.

2. 364 342 Greatly to the Master's disappointment, X 213's machinery was not in a good enough condition for her to be used. 78. Owing to a misunderstending, not here, which I have been unable to trace, the motor boats which should have hours later. Suspecting that the fifth column was at work reached Sheerness from the Thames Adid not arrive until 24 Lou 30ᵗʰ hi I informed your Chief of Staff, D.S.V.P., V.A. Dover, N.O.I.C.s Ramsgate and Margate of the circumstances, and of my intention to ignore any such messages. No possible harm could have been done by sending boats on, at any rate as far as Ramsgate. Had these boats not been delayed, they would have been available on the last day on which evacuation from the beaches was still going on. Some of them were employed on the last two days in the vicinity of Dunkirk. 8. The type of machinery fitted in many of the boats and its defective state, presented F.E.O. and Sheerness Dockyard with some difficult problems and a great deal of hard work, which was tackled, night and day, with great zeal and energy. Some of the boats broke down later on, much to the disappointment of their crews, who had done their best. Most of them, I think succeeded in joining other boats and msking at least one trip to the French coast. 9. The total number of craft prepared for service and sent out from Sheerness was as follows :- 100 Motor Boats 10 Lighters 7 Schuits 1 Oil tanker 6 Paddle Steamers 10. On Sunday June 2nd, having got away all the personnel and everything afloat that was sufficiently in good condition to do useful service, I went to Ramsgate with Commander Troup, arriving about 1600, in order to help N.O.I.C. and to endeavour to assist in the cooperation of motor boats with larger vessels. I went in with a group of Schuits and slow motor boats to the beach at St. Malo les Bains, where a British Officer who had just got back reported that there were British troops who had been unable to get into Dunkirk. None were found. I have no doubt however from later enquiries that they had got into the town. A volunteer whose name I have not yet been able to get, landed from one of the Schuits and walked along the beach to make sure there were none left. We brought him off and his boat's crew, and a number of French soldiers who were pulling for England in a small boat. Commander Troup took the fast Army motor boats into Dunkirk alongside the centre pier and brought off 79 French troops when his boat was rammed by a French tug and had to be abandoned. 11. On Monday night I took a group of slow motor boats up to the Quay Felix Faure, at the top of Dunkirk harbour. I went on ahead in the fast boat "Marlborough" to identify the quay. The motor boats were led in by the "Mermaiden", Sub Lieut who did very well to find the place in the dark, 300 French Marines were embarked in the motor boats and a French Trawler. Their bearing was excellent. As the quay was now clear, and machine gun fire was getting a little near, I decided not to get the motor boats back on the chance of another load of troops. At this period through no fault of the Officer at the wheel, we had the misfortune to scrape over some masonry that had fallen from the quay, losing our propellers and rudder.

3. 365 Dover. Eventually a motor yacht got us in tow and took us to Commander Troup went with the fast boats to the outer - 343 port. He made himself piermaster on the western mole and conducted the embarkation of about 10,000 French troops. He also had some anxious moments, as the boat which was to fetch him broke down. Another turned up in which he embarked with a French General Lucas and many StafffOfficers and men; and thus had the honour of being the last man to leave Dunkirk. 12. As Officers and Coxswains pass through Sheerness, endeavour is being made to extract full accounts of their adventures. N.O.I.C. Ramsgate is doing the same. These reports are being forwarded to Vice Admiral, Dover, but copies of those obtained here are attached. Even so it will be impossible to do justice to the services of these young Officers, ratings and volunteers, most of whom were acting independently, without anyone to see how they conducted themselves. A list of those who came under my personal observation is attached. 13. Until all reports have been compared and lists of Officers, men, and volunteers going out and returning have been checked, the number of casualties remains unscertain. Many boats have had to be abandoned owing to grounding, collision or fouled propellers, but in most cases the crews transferred to other craft, One craft is known to have been sunk by bomb. "New Prince of Wales". Large motor craft. Officer in command, Sub Lieut. .L.H. Bennett, R.N., now in R.N. S.P.H.E. Hospital, Chatham. Two ratings are believed to have been killed, but I have not been able to get this confirmed. Several motor boats sailed direct from Southend for the beaches with volunteer crews who had not signed on. There may be others, of which there will be no record. Considering the heavy bombing, shelling and machine gun fire experienced by many of the boats, the casualties seem to be lighter than might well have been expected. 14. It would be impossible to speak too highly of the spirit which has animated all those who have been concerned in "Dynamo". Everyone tried to do their best for the Armies at Dunkirk, and those whose fortunes it was to get across and bring some of them off, will always look back on it with deep satisfaction. Some of the crews got their boats as far as Ramsgate, only to find that owing to the shortcomings of their vessels, they could get no further, but many of them succeeded in finding another boat with room for them. A young Able Seaman, whose boat sank after bringing off 1,000 men, did much, by his sheerful talk and bearing, to bring about this happy result. His name is Here at Sheerness the Commodore and his staff, H.M.S. "Wildfire", and the dockyard did all that man could do to hasten the preparation and sailing of the varied fleet of craft which arrived here, some of them needing much attention. With the exception of the Thames steamers, which could not run in salt water, though they had a good try at it, very few craft failed to achieve at least one trip to the French coast. Many men from the "Wildfire" offered their would services, have done so had it been possible to spare their services. though only a few could be allowed to go, and more

I beg to report that at 8.45 pm. on Tuesday, 4th, when passing Dover I observed a motor boat about two miles outside my track, flying a white flag and trying to attract attention. I proceeded to boat and found it packed with soldiers who said they were French from Dunkirk and had no more petrol. After careful examination I allowed them to come on board unarmed, and towed the boat towards Dover Harbour, distance about five miles. After speaking the examination vessel I anchored and a tug was sent out to me. The men, 24 and four Officers, 28 in all, were sent on ral the tug and the tug towed the boat into the Harbour. I then proceeded at 11.10 pm. to my destination. The boat was the "Diana Mary" a British boat about 30 feet long. I sent a man down to make boat well fast and steer it. This man noticed a licence on dashboard "Thames Conservancy". One of the French Officers told how, at 7 am. on Tuesday morning, his party selected this boat out of a number abandoned on the beach. She was well provisioned with food and a note in the boat in English read good luck to those who get her." These soliders waited for tide to float it and then pushed out to sea. When I picked them up at 8.45 pm. they had not the least idea where they were. Fog had been general all day. Yours faithfully, Sgd. A. Hiley.

He reported having picked with the during daylight. boat in tow was About half-way across a French trawler boat up boat for in ich Dunkirk and it was thought this might be the we were searching. To make sure we barge with sail set were found approximately three miles from proceeded to Dunkirk where хихаря two open boats and a Thames the coast. The first open boat yielded five Spanieards, the second one about 6 soldiers, Belgian, French and English. We then went alongside the Thames barge at approximately 1330. This was found to contain about 220 soldiers including two Colonels and a Major of Artillery, and various wounded. They were endeavouring to sail to England but had made approximately three miles in 10 hours, see note below. Motor-mechanic Whittaker fitted a new piston to the air compressor motor while the 1st Lieut. and myself trimmed the sails. They had no charys on board. The air compressor motor was made to run but all efforts to start the diesel failed. I then left my lst.Lieut., SublLieut. Dehammel with instructions to sail the barge to Dover,and proceeded along the coast having opened up the distance to search for the "Girl Gladys". About two miles to the east I found an open boat containing 18 soldiers who were embarked, after which we approached to withing approximately three miles of the coast slightly to the eastward of La Panne. Visibility was good and no sign of the drifter could be seen, the search was therefore abandoned and course was set to intercept the Thames barge. At approximately 1720 when out of sight of land we were attacked by eight six or eight dive-bombers, 20 to 30 bombs were dropped and fell at distances varying from 10 to 50 yards of the ship. The bombers appeared to attack in pairs out of the sun and having released their bombs continued their dive firing machine- guns. Course was altered frequently in an endeavour to miss the bombs. Some appeared to explode after entering the water, some on striking the surface and a certain appeared not to explode at all. One exploded under the bow right ahead and the ship passed through the splash. A certain amount of discomfort was experienced by myself and members of the crew who were exposed. to the splash in the M eyes for the next twelve hours or 30. Able-Seaman Power was wounded in the leg when manning the port turrett also one of the soldiers in the fore peak. As I now had wounded on board I considered it advisable to return to Dover forthwith and to ask for assistance for the barge. A tug was sent out at approximately 2100 and found the barge sailing well about 10 miles from Dover. I consider Sub ,Lieut, Dehammel performed a very creditable operation. The bombing to which the ship had been subjected had caused leaks to the hull and the petrol tank and the ship was not used again for that night's operation. on passage to Dunkirk. 0115 Arrived Dunkirk and embarked C.O's of block-ships and Captain Dangerfield.

From accounts tt would seem that the is 220 soldiers the arrived at Braye dunes at approximately 0500 and saw barge lying off-shore. They waded out and and when ship floated with the rising tide started found she the was aground. One officer examined the engine the diesel. Unfortunately it was in astern and they again beached themselves. After some delay they floated off and again started the engines making sure it was in shead. They came up all standing on the anchor. After ineffective efforts to weigh the anchor they ran it out to a clinch and let it go., by which time the air bottles were exhausted and they were unable to start the diesel. They therefore decided to sail, but due to the absence of anyone with sailing knowledge their efforts created nothing but slight leeway which was counteracted by the set. They were therefore stationary they when discovered. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of all members of the crew during this somewhat trying time and it is difficult to mention anyone specifically. toget Sub .Dehammel's safe-conduct of the barge is worthy of note, while the tireless energy and keenness of motor-mechanic Whittaker and the efficient way in which he kept the engines running and dealt with unexpected contingencies was also a magnificient effort.

The magneto of her engine broke down before we reached Ramsgate and she vas then towed by the convoying trawler "Strathelliott". "Mation Annie" was only built for river work and she was not strong enough for the sea. The tow rope pulled all the bollards and cleats out of her, one after another, (the fastenings wro & bit nailsicktoo), and eventually it was only possible to tow with & strop right round the boat. At the same time the pumps choked and could bot be freed, as her bilge was full of rubbish, and she made water faster than - could sail. By the time we reached Dunkirk after a slow crossing, she was derelict and had to be left on the beach. I transferred to a large diesel-engined barge and carried about 120 French troops to her in a Naval cutter. We left for Ranagate with & full load about midnight. I reported the next morning, (Saturday) to the Port Captain. That day the only work available was landing troops from transports and carrying orders to ships, but on Sunday I was able to get another motor boat, called "Wind of the Morning". We left in the late afternoon with a number of other notor boats; enemy aircraft were about all the way across, and when we were 10 miles from Dunkirk their fighters circled over us for some time in the dark.

154 152 CONFIDENTIAL. Page 33. Operation "DYNAMO" - Narrative of Events. Inshore Flotillas and Naval Shore Parties (continued). preliminary action in most cases having originated in the Admiralty Small Vessels Pool. As the operation proceeded, Ramsgate was used as the main base for such craft, as being nearest to Dunkirk, but a small number of motor boats and skoots continued to work from Dover. 101. The work of servicing this multitude of small craft entailed an enormous amount of work by the base organisation at Ramsgate, and to a lesser extent at Dover, Items typical of the work of the Ramsgate organisation are as follows:- (a) Approximately 1,000 charts were issued by the Naval Control Service, Ramsgate, to the various vessels taking part, some 600 of which had the routes laid off on them for those Commanding Officers who had neither parallel rules nor dividers, together with approximately 500 sets of routeing instructions. (b) During the period 26th May to 4th June the number of vessels dealt with for defects of all kinds, including power, engine and electrical, at Ramsgate, was 170. Included in this number were Dutch skoots, tugs, drifters, trawlers, motor lighters, ferry floats and motor boats of every conceivable type. (c) All the small craft were initially without armament. 75 of the larger motor boats, skoots and tugs were armed with A.A. Lewis guns at Ramsgate, this armament being transferred from vessel to vessel as requisite during the operation. 23 Lewis gunners arrived from London and 2 officers with 12 R.A.S.C. cadets were also accepted for this service at Ramsgate. When British fighting troops were being evacuated in the later stages, the soldiers invariably mounted and fought their Bren guns as A.A. armament for the ship they were in. 102, A large number of boats were quite unsuitable for work off an open beach. For example, a convoy of 6 Thames Bawley boats were shepherded over from Southend and arrived off Dunkirk beach at 1930/31, but owing to ground swell and the many offshore obstacles, such as semi-submerged lorries, it was considered impracticable to beach these craft. Bawley boats accordingly went along the outside of the East Pier of Dunkirk harbour and started ferrying service to the skoots lying empty outside the harbour entrance. The swell along- side made embarkation duties from outside the jetty too difficult, so Bawley boats proceeded inside Dunkirk harbour working mainly from the inner harbour which was under heavy shell fire. All Bawley boats were loaded up and left harbour about 0300/1. On reaching Ramsgate at 0930/1 the boats were so much damaged as not to be fit for further service. The conduct of the crows of those cockle boats was exemplary. They were all volunteers who wore rushed over to Dunkirk in one day, probably none of thom had boon under gun fire before and cortainly none of them had ever been under Naval discipline. Those boats were Thamos estuary fishing boats/

Enemy guns seemed to be firing TER but not among ships loading which were some inshore of her. Later, these ships did come under fire, way and VIVACIOUS was hit twice and had 11 casualties - 2-300 troops on board. Ordered her to go into Dunkerque and fill up there. Lees was Senior Staff Officer of H. Q. Staff, and I thought it would be a good education for him to see something of what the naval problem was, so I kept him on the bridge with me. As Gort was in HEBE I felt he was safe, and as HEBE was doing good work embarking troops I did not send her back to Dover with him at once. Therein, perhaps, I was wrong, as I had not realized the anxiety of Government to have him safe and sound at home, but felt he would 1st sooner the ship helped to bring off more men than he should land a few hours earlier in England.

They went in every night and did (32) magnificent work. Other craft, also, including French destroyers, were to go in and load alongside: British at East Pier, French at West Quay. Gap in pier had been bridged, but I feared that Germans would now shell pier heavily and make it impossible for ships to be kept alongside. Asked RAF to reconnoitre: report gave accurate account of gap, but no word as to whether pier was being shelled. 1700 Arranged to leave Dover at 1700. Picked up Wynne-Edwards and Norfolk and embarked in MA/SB 10, in which a portable loud-speaker was fitted (similar sets found very useful in (29) HEBE and EXPRESS). A flag had been made for me out of a piece of cleaning cloth - the red stripe made one half of the cross, and the other half and the balls had been added in red paint. Harbour was full of destroyers, sloops, etc., many showing signs of minor damage. Some were out of action all together, and all were enjoying a short, well-earned rest. I had an hour's sleep on way over; up till then had had about 7 hours in short snatches, but felt quite fresh and fit. When some miles away from Dunkerque sighted 2 MTBs approach ing on port bow. They did not make contact and were (38) probably French. 1900 Arrived at Dunkerque and made fast alongside shore end of pier. Went to the "Bastion" (H.Q. of Army and the local (34) French Naval and Military Command) - 10 minutes' walk. Many buildings and sheds damaged. A French field gun was firing back over the town. Road fairly clear, but litter- (30) ed with vehicles the whole way. Men straggling along the road, but very few troops seen as they were kept away on beach behind shelter of wall except when ships came along- Found side. Tennant and Alexander at the "Bastion.

Joined by my proper Flag-Lieut. with guard were to withdraw through this line which the French (Balfour): he had come over the day after I left, a Returned to the pier. A Lysander Army Co-op plane, which W/T set. had been flying over pier all day, was fired at by several Bofors guns - not hit. Explained it was probably the reconnaissance plane I had asked for. (31) While having some food in the MA/SB, the Navigating Officer He of KEITH appeared, saying he was the only survivor. had swum ashore and reached a battery on the dunes some distance outside Dunkerque, and had then walkked in. (Actually, only 3 Officers and 33 mon were lost, and 16 wounded.) Close by my boat was Tennant's drifter; he also had 2 old steamboats. Next day the drifter was sunk by a shell. Naval Party ashore = about 6 Officers and a number of men messengers, signalmen, etc. Arranged to collect some of them at 0200/2, but Tennant would not leave then.

Later, however, these chips did COMO under fire, and "VIVACIOUS" reported she had been hit twice and had eleven casualties, and two or three hundrod troops on board, I ordered her to 80 into Dunkirk and fill up there. General Lees 172.S the Senior Officer of the H.Q. Staff and I thought it 2 would be a good education for him to see something of what the naval problem was, so I kept him on the bridge with ICC.

Thorein perhaps I was wrong, as I had not realized the anxiety of the Government to have him safe and sound at home but had felt he would soonor the ship helped to bring off more men rather than that he should land a few hours carlier in England.

Controller 434 461 Small Vessels Pool. 8th June 1940. In connection with the recent operations at Dunkirk, I desire to bring to your notice the excellent work of the following officers. S.V.P. found itself forced to act in an operational capacity in this emergency. 1. Among the many officers and civilians who offered to their services to fill the emergency of taking boats over, an outstanding case was one particular officer Lieut.Col.R.L. Dover Hutchins, M.C., Grenadier Guards. This officer had a day off from a certain Department, and asked my permission to be allowed to proceed with my Deputy, Captain 3.7. Wharton, to Ramsgate, where he was given charge of 8 motor boat. On the way over the boat hit submerged wreckage which rendered one engine useless. Continuing under one engine, on arrival off Dunkirk he found a steamer ashore with her boats at the davits. He went to a destroyer, asked for the loan of four hands, and with these men he lowered the boats, which he used to evacuate soldiers from the beach to the destroyer. I understand some 700 men were thus evacuated. He returned to London in time to go on duty the following morning. 2. Captain E.F. Wharton, R.N. This officer under Daves S.N.O., him the detailed organisation of "ferrying" Phillimore, Ramsgate acted as Pier Master for four days with at the Ramsgate. Upon boats from Ramsgate devolved. Captain on the S.N.O., valuable Ramsgate services rendered by this officer, and smaller made a special report by telephone has been asked very to report it officially in due course.

442 Half a dozen Thames river launches resembling nothing so much as the upper decks of elongated motor-buses with their rows of slatted seats, but given 8 tang of the waterside by rows of white-painted lifebuoys slung around the upper rails. The very names of these latter craft are redolent of the quiet of Richmond, Teddington and Hampton Court: "Skylark", "Elizabeth" and "Queen Boadicea". A strange flotilla indeed to be taking an active part in what has been described as "the greatest naval epic in history". The crews and their officers too were as miscellaneous an assembly as the craft they manned. First arrived a trickle of R.N.V.R. Sub-Lieutenants direct from training school, taken from their class-rooms often in the midst of as lecture on the "practical pilotage" they were soon to put to such good account. Many of these were entering a naval dock-yard for the first time in their lives, yet they clambered over the little ships, bawled for their requirements in food, fuel and water and set to work to prepare for the task in hand, as if to the manner born. Next came another thin trickle - this time junior Royal Navy officers who but a short time before were midshipmen on war vessels of various types; little more than schoolboys, yet each possessed of that indescribable sangfroid and cheerful discipline which is the hall-mark of the British naval officer whatever his age or rank. Lastly - and only at matter of minutes before the time of departure - came the crews; Royal Fleet Reserve men this first batch - tough, stout-hearted and disciplined. No time to pick or choose; stoker ratings first, to man the little engines - one man to each boat; then the seamen - "Swarm over those boats men and wherever you find an officer aboard ask him if he needs a crew! Three men to the larger boats and two each to the smaller". 2

444 succession of British shipping as motley in its larger form as were the motor-boats themselves. Tramps, cargo ships, barges, drifters, tugs, Dutch schoots, British warships, even river ferry-boats such as carry one's car across the Thames at Woolwich and elsewhere. Of individual acts only a few can be given; every crew, every man almost, experienced some incident or another. some adventure that could fill a whole small volume on its own. And yet what can a writer do when such men report such events in the tersest of language such as "heavily shelled whilst at work"; A few reminiscenses may be given here in the hope that some idea of the work may be gathered by anyone who cares to piece them together. Here are some extracts from a letter written by Sub. Lt. .Williams, R.N. which serve to illustrate that merry sangfroid which has been referred to earlier:- "So I proceeded by compass (error 20°) to the Calais out. - Gravelines sands and anchored & few hundred yards while about I 8 quarter of a mile I saw two men silhouetted to I was walked inland in search of Allied pulled ashore in the boat, which waited soldiers. for me After against the glow of a distant blaze. them.

It was, however, severely restricted by the almost of the wish, already noticed, to prevent early information of the operation be- of coming known to the enemy; and an urgent and persistent cry for boats arose from the ships off the beaches.³ Beach craft are sailed for Dunkirk Steps had already been taken, however, to begin the provision of small boats. At 0800 on the 28th May, 8 motor boats were sailed from the Thames for the South Downs. At noon the tug Sun V with 8 cutters and 2 whalers in tow, and the tug St. Clears with 11 cutters in tow, left Sheerness for Ramsgate, and both tugs sailed for Dunkirk late in the evening. Of these two tows, however, only 7 cutters reached the beaches, the remainder being lost en route.4 At 1500 the tug Java left Ramsgate for Dunkirk, in company with four drifters⁵ and 5 motor launches⁶. They arrived off Bray at 0100 on 29th May, and were the first arrivals of small motor craft off the beaches. With them, at 1500 on the 28th May, 5 drifters of the 1st Mine Recovery Flotilla left Rams- gate for Dunkirk⁷, and at 1845, 18 motor boats with 17 whalers left Sheerness for Dover.⁸ Supply of small craft is accelerated These supplied only a portion of what was required. There was still a lack of small craft, and at 2002 V.A. Dover asked that every available shallow draft power boat should be sent to the beaches⁹. The Admiralty's vigorous reaction to this request became fully evident on the following day, the 29th May, when the Portsmouth and Nore Commands, the Thames estuary and the Port of London Authority were combed for motor boats, lighters and barges¹⁰. To accelerate the journey arrangements were made to route them direct to the beaches, provided they had charts, food, fuel etc.¹¹, though some difficulty was experienced in providing the large number of charts required.

THURSDAY, 30TH MAY CHAP. VII reached the beaches, and by retrieving the abandoned and drifting pulling boats they were able to do much to increase the rate of lifting¹. Many more were on the way. The destroyers Basilisk and Venomous from the Western Approaches Command were making for Dover, and the mine sweepers Niger and Dundalk were coming down from the Humber. The attempt to maintain an adequate rate of lift with only the older destroyers soon proved unavailing, and all the modern destroyers of the H, I and J classes which had been withdrawn on the 29th May were ordered back to Dunkirk on the 30th². Small craft were hastening up from Portsmouth, Newhaven and Sheerness; six tugs were plodding along from Tilbury (towing 23 motor and 46 rowing lifeboats), and five others had left Gravesend (towing barges). Yachts, drifters and trawlers; launches, lighters and steam hopper barges; car ferries, coasters and cockle boats; train ferries, speed boats and picket boats; seaplane tenders, fishing craft and pleasure craft; steam pinnaces, sailing craft and a Thames fire float-a host of vessels-were heading in ever-increasing numbers³, for Dover, the Downs, or Dunkirk direct, while the cry more ships, more boats", still went up off. the French coast.⁴ Set-backs were inevitable, but this concourse of ships, big and little, fast and slow, manned by willing and eager crews fired by one purpose of saving the British Expeditionary Force, continued to grow until it assumed the pro- portions of an armada. Late on the previous evening the Bideford had sent a call for large quantities of rope for towing to be sent, and within a few hours 9 coils (1080 fathoms) of 4-inch grass hawser were speeding by lorry from Chatham dockyard to Ramsgate to help the skoots to haul boats off the beaches, thus speeding up the boat work and compensating for the shortage of boats, 'which would continue", says Vice-Admiral, Dover for at least another 24 hours "5. Undoubtedly as a result of the messages and signals received on the 29th May by V.A. Dover with regard to the harbour at Dunkirk, the number of ships sent there on the 30th May was curtailed, with a corresponding reduction in the volume of embarkation. After V.A. Dover's signal to Admiral Abrial late on the 29th May, asking whether it was possible for transports to berth alongside, further signals to the same effect were sent to the Vanquisher and the Codrington and to Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker. Finally, at 1020, the Wolsey was called upon for a detailed report of conditions alongside the east pier; and by 1524 V.A. Dover was able to inform destroyers that a good berth with bollards exists 400 yards from end of east pier". In the meantime signals were coming in from Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker and from the Vivacious stating that the beaches were filling up rapidly and more ships and boats were urgently required there.⁶ Although it was known that the destroyers could use Dunkirk, it appeared, says V.A. Dover, that the best division of transport was to send the great majority of destroyers to the beaches, where urgent demands could not be ignored, and the personnel vessels to Dunkirk harbour, only an occasional destroyer being sent to Dunkirk from the reduced number available.⁷ I D.R. p.15, para. 49.

FRIDAY, 31ST MAY CHAP. VIII in the Bray and Malo sectors were being thinned out by movements westward towards Dunkirk iteslf. This change of plan involved concentrating the special tows and the minesweepers to which they were to transfer the troops, into the stretch opposite the beach between Zuydcoote Sanatorium and one mile east of La Panne¹, and also advancing the commencement of the operation by one hour². A risk was involved in this change of plan as the boat tows were not in com- munication with the Vice-Admiral, and it would therefore be necessary for minesweepers to see that the escorting M.A./S.B.'s shepherded the tows to the new positions It had been explained to the Naval officers in each tow that the minesweepers would be anchored so as to serve as guiding marks³. " It was always impossible for me to do more than deal with the situation of the moment", says Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker. "I did not know what ships were coming or when-except for the pre-arranged plan of the sloops. Nor was it possible for Dover to give me much information. Ships got back there, unloaded, and were off again, the stream was constant but irregular and it was not possible to see any way ahead. My policy was always to keep only sufficient ships off the beaches and send all the others into Dunkirk, but the situation changed continually."4 Small craft arrive in hundreds It was in such circumstances that, at about 1900, Rear-Admiral Wake- Walker had proceeded to Dunkirk in the Keith to see how the boat situation was getting on. There he saw for the first time that strange procession of craft of all kinds the story of which was to become famous-tugs, towing dinghies, life-boats and all manner of pulling boats5-small motor yachts, motor launches, drifters, Dutch skoots, Thames barges, fishing boats, pleasure steamers⁶. This was indeed the first time that the small craft had come over in hundreds⁷. Since noon Lt. Cdr. C. J. Wynne-Edwards, R.N. (of R.-A. Dunkirk's staff), embarked in M.T.B.68, had been directing the tows to the various beaches. I See Appendix Q.18, observing that D.R. p.20, para. 61 says the beach between Bray and 1 mile east of La Panne." 2 Appendix Q.19. 3 D.R. p.20, para. 61. 4 M.017978/41, p.17. 5 The following 14 tugs (their tows are shown in brackets) reached Dunkirk that evening: The Racia (12 life-boats), Sun VIII (12 life-boats), Sun XV (6 life-boats), Vincia (3 life- boats), Sun IV (9 boats), Tanga (6 boats), Ocean Cock (6 M/B's), Sun VII (seaplane tenders 243, 254, 276, 291 and A.M.C.3), Foremost 87 (two sailing barges), Fairplay I (sailing barge Barbara Jean), Empire Henchman (sailing barge Aidie), Crested Cock (a lighter), Sun XI (a lighter), and the Sun XII (sailing barges Tollesbury and Ethel Everard). In the early hours of 1st June 4 other tugs arrived. The St. Fagan (auxiliary barges Pudge and Lady Rosebery, and the sailing barge Doris), St. Abbs (auxiliary barge Thyra and sailing barges H.A.C. and Duchess), Cervia (sailing barge Royalty), and the Persia (sailing barge Glenway and Lark). 6 M.017978/41, p.19. 7 New arrivals off Dunkirk and the beaches on 31st May included the following The yachts Amulree, Aronia, Glagla, Caleta, Christobel II and Llanthony, the nine yachts of the Portsmouth Inner Patrol, viz the Ahola, Ankh, Bounty, Caryandra, Eilla II, Lahloo, Noneta, Seriola and Thele and from the R.N.

FRIDAY, 31ST MAY CHAP. VIII Later on 2nd June, on instructions from the N.O.I.C., the original crew took charge of the Marsayru, but she did not, apparently, make a second trip to Dun- kirk. Her skipper (G. D. Olivier) received the D.S.M. for his services, and her engineer (C. Coggins) a mention in despatches. The Cockle Bawley boats Of the small craft that went over on this day, Admiral Ramsay speaks in the following terms of the Cockle Bawley boats²: "The conduct of the crews of these cockle boats was exemplary. They were all volunteers who were rushed over to Dunkirk in one day, probably none of them had been under gunfire before and certainly none of them under Naval discipline. These boats were Thames estuary fishing boats which never left the estuary, and only one of their crews had been further afield than Ramsgate before. In spite of this fact perfect formation was maintained throughout the day and night under the control of a Sub-Lieutenant R.N.V.R.³ in command of the Unit, and all orders were carried out with great diligence even under actual shell fire and aircraft attack." One of these cockle boats, the Renown, was blown up by a mine while returning to England disabled and in tow of the drifter Ben and Lucy. Her skipper, W. H. Noakes, and his crew⁴ were killed. The Ben and Lucy had been towing the drifter Feasible (disabled by a shell hit), 3 life-boats and the cockle boat Letitia. At 0115 on the 1st June the Renown, by then disabled, attached herself to this tow, but an hour later she was blown to pieces and a hail of wood and splinters came down on the Letitia's deck. The Letitia's skipper (A. J. Dench) says, In the pitch dark we could see nothing, and after the explosion we hard nothing and we could do nothing, except pull in the tow rope, which was just as we passed it to the Renown about 3 hour before. French and Belgian ships arrive Early on the 31st it became known that the Belgian Government were anxious that several small Belgian fishing craft lying at Brixham should take part in the evacuation and steps were taken to arrange this. At 1335 the French destroyer Léopard routed from the Downs to Dunkirk two French trawlers5, three French motor fishing vessels⁶, and ten Belgian trawlers⁷. The Belgian trawlers were under the orders of Pilote Malet; the remainder of the ships under Lieutenant de vaisseau Drogou. Other Allied ships that sailed for Dunkirk on this day were the French cargo ships Ingénieur Cachin and Margaux, the trawlers Pierre et Marie, Emma and Duperre, and the patrol vessel Diligente; the Belgian trawlers Lydie Suzanne and Yvonne, and the drifters Gerard-Léon (H.64), Anne Marie and Thérèse Compas. On her return journey the Pierre et Marie picked up 3 English sailors from a drifting motor boat. I The Marsayru's skipper says that throughout 31st May, and the days and nights that followed (its all a complete jumble in my mind) we were under constant fire but the ship was not hit by anything." It seems, however, that Mr. Olivier was only in the evacu- ation for 5 hours, i.e. from 1600 to 2100, 31st May. 2 Defender, Endeavour, Letitia, Reliance, Renown and Resolute. 3 S/Lt. M. H. B.

The Calcutta was recalled to Sheerness at 0938 in readiness to perform the same service next night, and at 1015 she shot down a Heinkel which had bombed and damaged the Mosquito by a near miss 15 miles from Dover. Fighter Command provided 8 patrols during the 1st June of an average strength of 3 to 4 squadrons. The main periods when no fighter protection was afforded were approximately 0730-0850, 1020-1120, 1120-1145, 1545- 1615 and 1715-1845. Coastal Command continued to fly patrols of 3 aircraft over the North Goodwins-Gravelines-Ostend line throughout the day. Enemy air attacks begin St. Fagan sunk 0355. Sporadic enemy air attacks began at early light. Ships alongside the mole reported being attacked at 0415 and 0500. This was before the first main R.A.F. air patrol appeared on the scene, for the R.A.F. had been asked to pro- vide maximum protection from 0500 onwards. Before the first patrol appeared enemy aircraft claimed what was to prove the first of a long series of victims that day. The tug St. Fagan had towed over from Dover during the night three Thames barges. At about 0355, in the Dunkirk Channel, abreast the town the ship was hit by a bomb and practically disintegrated. Only two officers, including her Captain, Lieut.-Commander G. H. Warren, M.B.E., R.N., and 6 ratings, were saved out of a total comple- ment of 25. They were picked up by the tug Tanga which had come over from Ramsgate with 6 boats in tow and had hung off outside Dunkirk most of the night waiting for troops to be brought out to her, and was then on her way home with 160 men on board and a motor-boat in tow. Almost simultaneously with the withdrawal of our aircraft at 0730 a heavy dive bombing attack developed by a compact formation of some 30 or 40 Ju. 75s, causing the loss of the destroyers Keith and Basilisk, the minesweeper Skipjack, and the tug St. Abbs. 2 I Report, M.017978/41 p.29. 3 M.017978/41, p.23.

SATURDAY, 1ST JUNE CHAP. IX boiler and engine rooms badly holed, the steering gear jammed with the rudder hard over, the ship took a heavy list to port. The crew of the pom-pom were all killed or knocked out except Acting Leading Seaman Ronald Thirlwall, who, although shockingly badly wounded in at least four places, kept the one un- damaged barrel firing until ammunition was exhausted. The 0.5" gun aft was also kept in action by Able Seaman C. A. L. Hirschfield, who went aft and brought the gun into action single handed after all the crew were wounded. With water pouring into the ship, the Mosquito was abandoned, the survivors being picked up by the Rapid and two drifters. Among the killed was the executive officer Lieutenant A. H. Mainwaring, R.N. Fifth and sixth air attacks, 1500 and 1610 Between 1230 and about 1500 there was a lull in the air attacks on shipping, and when attacks were renewed at the latter hour R.A.F. and Coastal Command patrols were operating and no damage occurred. About 1600 the French minesweeping trawlers Président Briand, Denis Papin, Moussaillon and Vénus, were approaching Dunk'rk after landing troops in England, when gunfire from a shore battery opposite 6 W buoy caused the two former, who were ahead, to turn back. Ten minutes later, a formation of 9 enemy aircraft dived cn them, directing their bombs on the Vénus and the Denis Papin. The latter apparently sank immediately with total loss of her crew, and the Vénus in four minutes, after a direct hit. Whilst the other two trawlers were engaged in rescuing the survivors of the Vénus, the Moussaillon was hit and sank within a minute. Losses from mines On this black day mines were also taking their toll of shipping. Enemy aircraft had been mining the inshore channels during the night 31st May-1st June, and at 0313 Vice-Admiral Dover informed the Admiralty that he was allowing ships evacuating troops to use Route Y as well as Route X. In the early hours the corvette Sheldrake after a night spent in dodging M.T.B. torpedoes", was skilfully directed by aircraft to a position between the West Hinder and Kwint buoys, where she found wreckage with men clinging to it. This was the remains of the trawler St. Achilleus which had been mined on patrol. The Sheldrake rescued 11 men, but 4 of them died before they could be got to harbour. About the same time, i.e. at 0330, the little Thames Estuary cockle bawley boat Renown was blown to pieces with her crew of 3, on the way back from Dunkirk. The third ship to be sunk on this day was the F.A.A. training yacht Grive a vessel which, on account of her untiring activity, could ill be spared. Having disembarked 374 troops at Dover at 0100 on the 1st June the Grive sailed again two hours later for Dunkirk without waiting to replenish ammunition, of which she had only 5 rounds per gun remaining. On the way in to the harbour she lent assistance to the Ivanhoe after the latter was bombed and damaged, went alongside the jetty and embarked troops under heavy bombing. At 0800 she left again. On the way out, she passed the sinking destroyer Havant with the Ivanhoe's troops and survivors of the crew on board; these she transferred, and arrived at Dover with 785 persons about 1300. Three hours later, her indefatigable Captain (Capt. the Hon. L. J. O. Lambart, D.S.O., R.N. (Retired) sailed once more for Dunkirk. But he never arrived, for at about 2230, when a mile or so outside the harbour, the Grive was blown to pieces by a mine. Nineteen survivors were picked up, but her Captain was not among them. 93

Embarkation from the beaches The first ships of the night flight to arrive off the beaches were minesweepers, which began to anchor off Malo about 2000 on 1st.

Loading was a slow process, for there were more ships lying off the beaches than could be loaded by the boats available.

I reported to the Naval Office with my crew of two and we were promptly put in a taxi and sent back to our own port at Ramsgate, a matter of a few minutes which might have been a dreary Journey by train. As throughout, there was no red tape in the Navy at all, they had ready everything that was necessary and our general instructions were that if we were in any sort of trouble we could close any ship we saw as it would be one of ours. On arrival at Ramsgate I reported to the Commander = the Naval Office and within five minutes my crew had been taken off to the temporary barracks established by the Harbour and I was on my way to getting a bed for the night inaan Hotel. On Saturday, 1st June, I reported at Pier Head abouto9. and asked for another boat and before lunch time had taken over one which had only been brought into Ramsgate that morning and german put her into commission with a new crew. This boat was an old Admiral's barge from the last war, to which the only conversion of any importance seemed to be that the steam engine had been fitted where the original funnel existed. The engine was a four- taken out and a petrol engine substituted, a dummy funnel being cylinder engine with cylinders of enormous size, it had no self-starter and worked with a clutch, being in fact a lorry engine. The engine was a brute to start and the gear lever required a strong man to put it into any position, but the engine was started and run over for a few minutes by the man who stated that he had brought the ship round from the Thames pressing. and he assured me that it was good for 12 knots without undue is not got been over my new crew had As we were all anxious to go over again, but I did not relish in fact. the idea of being towed any more, the prospect of being able to in about six hours each way was very welcome, and I decided that go over under my own steam at 12 knots and so make the journey on this occasion we would do what most of the larger motor boats had been doing, namely run over under our own steam, pick up a boat-load and come back with them. I was informed that the new boat only drew 3'2" so that it would be quite possible for the troops to get to the boat without swimming. This still did not strike me as being a very efficient method of getting the troops off but I felt that some real work had been done with Constant Nymph and I had been informed that morning shat 187, 000 were this boat could already off so that I felt justified in indulging in something men should think have taken 35 more in the nature of a pienic, especiably as cigarettes and other little comforts had been provided on the boat by the owner for the rescued troops. We had already victualled the boat and obtained our water supplies and directly after lunch we cast off to go across the Harbour and get petrol, having as a quite unauthorised passenger an old member of my own Club who

The tow ropes of two of the yachts broke and they were told to proceed on under own power. Arrived off Dunkin at 11.30 p.m. and cast off from Tug. Proceeded into Dunkir past the Mole, and up the Canal for about 2 miles. Moored alongside the quay and proceeded to take troops on board. Could find no Englishmen so took on board 40 Frenchmen.

file DYNAMO COPY NO. 12 Q(M)2.a./43 MOVEMENT CONTROL, WAR OFFICE, WHITEHALL,S.W.1. MOST SECRET DYNAMO MOVEMENT INSTRUCTION NO.1 Emergency evacuation across the Channel of very large forces (Plan Dynamo) Important Note: This Plan provides for the worst possible contingency. The utmost discretion will be used by addressees in communicating any part of this plan to any other person. I. Sea Movement (Ref. Notes on Conferences dated 21 May, 1940, this instruction modifies the earlier picture) 1. An orderly withdrawal may be impossible and we must be prepared for chaotic movement of large and small parties to the coast between Calais and Zeebrugge. It may be impossible for ships to enter any of the ports and every sort of small craft may have to be used. Ministry of Shipping in consultation with V.A. Dover are expediting the collection of small craft. Intermittent evacuation has already begun. 2. For the final evacuation we cannot expect information as to the numbers to be picked up at any time at any point and the only practicable scheme appears to be to group small craft at various points along the coast, each group perhaps working to one or more ships. 3. The date on which ships and small craft should be placed in position for final evacuation will depend on information from G.H.Q. but 24 hours notice is expected. II. Movement in the U.K. 4. Points of disembarkation East Kent Group Dover Folkestone Ramsgate Margate Sussex Group Hastings (2 piers) Eastbourne Newhaven Brighton (Palace pier) Points west of Brighton or in the Thames will be used only in emergency. For this plan first letters will serve as the code letter of the port, e.g. R for Ramsgate. 5./ Reception/

In connection Wi th the Committee's consideration of vessels taken for operations "dynamo", I suggest - of us from various sources as lost or missing that no action SS (1) Two points In regard to those vessels which are reported to should be taken as regards compensation until the lapse of a specified time in order that all information from various ports may be collated, as I have had cases of small craft being found after being reported missing, lost to 1" Shor sunk. or doubt (2) As to those vessels which were listed as having been utilised but where no further information as to their cases whereabouts is available, the same proceedure. plof vessels which are not shown on any list and I suggest (3) Claims are being received from owners in respect perthats taken and the port from which it sailed; this will tend ht some corroboration should be obtained as to the date theto obviate any ficticious claims.

The Director of Sea Transport, Ministry of Shipping (H.O.), 19 Berkeley Square House, Berkeley Square, W.1. RECEIVED the Dear Sir, 18/12/11 In reply to your circular headed T.0.9144/STN.6B, I have been fortunate enough to receive from Lieut. Charles Waterland Read, D.S.C., R.N.R., who was in charge of my boat BONNY HEATHER at Dunkirk a very interesting account of his act- ivities in this connection, and I presume that I am entitled, without his permission, since it is difficult to get in touch with him, to send you on a copy of the relevant parts of his letter for the purpose you indicate. Hape In view of the remarks contained in this letter and the fact that the boat is still retained by your Ministry, I am wondering whether it would not be possible to have the Ministry take over the ship outright and compensate me for its approxi- mate value. You will appreciate that, being paid the sum of £9. a month for the hire of it (of which I have so far received one month) is not entirely adequate in view of the fact that I have still to pay the balance of an account of nearly £50. spent on the boat to put it into commission at the beginning of the sea- son, apart from the original cost of the boat itself.

-5- On the way back to England we avoided a drifting mine, but the two Officers' pistols and the A.A.Lewis guns were unable to pop it,so we informed another ship that was outward bound and it was duly popped in due course. The troops on board Laudania evinced no interest whatsoever in the nor the popping of it, it was first sighted on our starboard buby and as the tide was running that way we sheered off and passed behind it, the troops evidently regarded this as entirely a naval matter and I do not think any of them oven got up to see what happened to it. 40 the whole course Off the Foreland we enquired of the local Policeman, a from Ramsgate like to gentleman in his shirt-sãeeves on a drifter, as to which port Dunkink was would take us and were sent to Margate. Three other ships and a main street in two destroyers also had loads for Margate and we eventually a busy town. tied up outside two destroyers and landed the whole issue haffer, several across each ether about 17.30 may. abreast joing each I reported to the Naval Office with my crew of two and we way. were promptly put in a taxi and sent back to our own port at Ramsgate, a matter of a few minutes which might have been a dreary journey by train. As throughout, there was no red tape in the Navy at all, they had ready everything that was necessary and our general instructions were that if we were in any sort of trouble we could close any ship we saw as it would be one of ours. at On arrival at Ramsgate I reported to the Commander of the Naval Office and within five minutes my crew had been taken off to the temporary barracks established by the Harbour and I was on my way to getting a bed for the night inaan Hotel. On Saturday, 1st June, I reported at Pier Head about09. and asked for another boat and before lunch time had taken over one which had only been brought into Ramsgate that morning and put her into commission with a new crew. This boat was an old german Admiral's barge from the last war, to which the only conversion of any importance seemed to be that the steam engine had been taken out and a petrol engine substituted, a dummy funnel being fitted where the original funnel existed. The engine was a four- cylinder engine with cylinders of enormous size, it had no self-starter and worked with a clutch, being in fact a lorry engine. The engine was a brute to start and the gear lever required a strong man to put it into any position, but the engine was started and run over for a few minutes by the man who stated that he had brought the ship round from the Thames and he assured me that it was good for 12 knots without undue pressing. my new crew had As we were all anxious to go over again, but I did not relish not yet been over the idea of being towed any more, the prospect of being able to in fact. go over under my own steam at 12 knots and so make the journey in about six hours each way was very welcome, and I decided that on this occasion we would do what most of the larger motor boats had been doing, namely run over under our own steam, pick up a boat-load and come back with them. I was informed that the new boat only drew 3'2" so that it would be quite sible for the troops to get to the boat without swimming. This still did not strike me as being a very efficient method of getting the troops off but I felt that some real work had been done with Constant Nymph and I had been informed that morning that 187, were already off so that I felt justified in indulging in something boat could more in the nature of & pienic, especially as cigarettes and have taken 35 other little comforts had been provided on the boat by the mou I should owner for the rescued troops. LWe had already victualled the boat and obtained our water supplies and directly after lunch we cast off to go across the Harbour and get petrol, having as & quite unauthorised passenger an old member of my own Club who

-6- was down there as correspondent for a well-known paper and who wanted to see the show for himself. This was about the only effort made by this wretched boat in the Government service, it had a konked out within a few yards of leaving moorings and refused to eat it fire so I had to anchor to prevent drifting #Pen other ships and ABet a. rowing boat to come out and fetch me off so that I wer, of course could report the trouble. Within an hour, a good deal less I should say, we had an Engineer-Lieutenant Commander, ReNoV.R., an Engineer Sub-Lieutenant, R.N., two Petty Officers Artificers and one leading Artificer, investigating the question of our engine trouble. One not unimportant item was that the magneto was simply dripping away, and here I rather suspect the activities of my stoker rating who was the senior again of my crew, who had been using the oil can I know, but he seemed to be quite familiar with petrol engines and I certainly did not see trying to oil the magneto, but I noticed a change of expression on his face when the Mag. was tached and foynd to be actually oozing oil. This, however, was not the only trouble and it is a mystery to me that that boat was ever brought round to Ramsgate from the Thames as the experts worked on her until 20.00 that night, by which time they had succeeded in getting a spark, and we got the engine running again. We raised anchor and tarted to take her for a trial run round the harbour. This went all right so long as we were going dead slow but on getting a clear space between two ships at anchor and opening throttle, there was no increase in speed but a most terrible noise from the clutch which was obviously slipping badly. The Engineer-Lieutenart Commanded who was with me on the little bridge was very amused, he had identified the engine on sight as a very old Camel Lorry engine converted and I think he realised that all my efforts at joggling the clutch lever and putting the gear lever in and out of neutral were not going to have the least effect as the thing was pretty hopeless. As it was quite clear that nothing could be done except move her ahead at dead slow, I brought her over to the side and tied up out of the fairway. While the gear was in neutral and the fore and aft ropes were already being secured, I had, as an additional precaution, kept my foot hard down on the clutch pedal which was right down on the deck, so that the clutch should have been well out with a good al to spare; in spite of this she suddenly commenced to go gently astern and bisk no amount of clutch joggling or verification of the fact that the gear lever was most clearly in neutral, seemed to have any effect for a moment or two, when she started to go slowly ahead. It was clearly unsafe in a crowded harbour to have this wretched engine running at all so I called down to the stoker to switch off the engine and have her manhandled for the little adjustment that was required to get her tied up securely. Again the engineers worked on her until 23.50 that night and all day Sunday, 2nd June, they took down pretty well everything. The final report was that the engine was worth about £10 and it would cost £20 to repair it,so they did not propose to do any more about it, and I found myself living on a house boat with my own crew of four ratings and a lodger in the shape of another stoker rating whose original boat had been lost somehow with his kit. He had been supplied with a new kit at Merrie England, the temporary Naval barracks, and being a friend of my stoker rating thought he might as well throw in his luck with us. By this time the beach show was well over and the last contingents were being brought off from Dunkirk Jetty itself by destroyers, etc., this being a deep water job. There was a rumour round the harbour precincts just before lunch time on Sunday that volunteers were wanted to fetch the last of the Dunkirk troops off the Jetty, this cleared all the

ILA -8- in spite of a bit of rope round her port propeller, there was far too much rope at Dunkirk, made excellent headway. There was a north easterly breeze blowing which raised a bit of a lop which was on our starboard baby on the course to the Foreland, this was just where it was not wanted under the circumstances. 43 Most of the battens carried away and the canvas patching was flapping loose at the bottom over the main damage but she was still only making water in very small quantities as the bad damag above water line and she would have been as dry as a chip an reasonably smooth water. We calculated that we could get round the Foreland without shipping too much and that we should then have the wind and water pretty well astern, and this proved to be the case so that we shipped no more water after that though there was a fair amount of motion for a time. We had & chart, but no compass, owing to the bomb splinter at Dunkirk, but it was a sunny day and a course just outside the angle of the light on the water sommed about right. In point of fact we picked up every buoy directly on our course. We had no dividers on board but using a piece of string to measure the distance on the chart between two buoys and comparing this with the tatitude scale on the bottom of the chart, found that we were doing approximately 15 knots and she must have averaged about 12 knots for the trip although we had to go a bit easy before we had rounded the Foreland. Soon after we had got through the boom one of the usual busy drifters came pounding after us, flicking her signal lamp which, as usual, we could not read, but we eased up to let her come nearer and, as was off to our starboard a bit, we gave Cairngorm a bit of a sheer to starboard, which gave the drifter a fine view of our flapping patch, this seemed to tell the drifter all he wanted to know about us ur. and he just waved a hand and turned back. ned We tied up in the motor boat basin, landed our crew and reported about 20.00. As soon as we had reported to the 1. Commander in charge of the motor boats, he enquired if we had dined yet, and finding this was not so, book us into the of Mess for dinner at once. air We slept on board Cairegorn that night, and on Friday the 7th June I was duly examined by the Medical Officer and chased about to two or three different individuals and eventually signed off, as from the date of expiration of my three days' O Dunkirk leave.

MERHAIDEN Telephone No.: NATIONAL FIRE SERVICE. MASSEY RELiance 3811 SHOULD BEADDRESSED London Fire Busigade, Forces, Headquarters, 900 XXXXX QUOTING- M/RCC. to the Chief Commander, Albert Embankment, S.E.1 London Fire Forces. STRay. Entered in Day Book 1st December, 1941. Dear Sir, Evacuation of the B.E.F. from Dunkirk. I understand that you have asked the owners of all boats requisitioned in May, 1940, to assist in the evacuation of the B.E.F from Dunkirk to forward to you the available particulars of the part they played in the operations. You may, therefore, be interested to receive a brief report of the activities of the fire boat, "Massey Shaw", although the boat was not requisitioned by you. On Thursday, 30th May, 1940, the Under Secretary of State, Home Office, informed the Officer Commanding, London Fire Brigade, that the assistance of a fire boat might be required at Dunkirk. The Chairman of the Civil Defence Committee of the London County Council gave his approval and it was decided that the "Massey Shaw" should undertake the work. She is a 75 ft. steel fire boat, constructed for fire-fighting in the River Thames with a beam of 13 ft. 6 ins. and a 3 ft. 9 ins. draft, equipped with Diesel engines for propulsion and driving the fire pumps. The "Massey Shaw" arrived at Ramsgate with a London Fire Service volunteer crew on 31st May, but found that fire-fighting operations at Dunkirk were impracticable. The fire boat was, therefore, ordered to Dunkirk by a senior Naval officer at 1400 hour to assist in the evacuation of troops. Between arrival at Dunkirk at 1900 hours and the departure for Ramsgate at 0400 hours on 1st June, 60 troops were taken aboard from the beaches about 3 miles east of the mole, and were safely disembarked at Ramsgate at 0645 hours.

101 "Minnedosa" Voyage to Dunkirk May - June, 1940. The following is a brief account of what happened in the Voyage of M.S.B. Minnedosa from Southampton down the Channel to Ramsgate from which we were used for the disembarkation of our troops from Dunkirk. (Slender details from the Mate-Engineer aged 19 who was the only member of our crew able to sail with her on account of Skipper W. Riding being in hospital with crushed finger, and Mate G. Abrook attending doctor with broken ankle). Taken in collaboration with S. Riding, the Mate Engineer. Our vessel the M.S.B. "Minnedosa" is a Thames Sailing Barge, fitted with a Kelvin Ricardo Motor as auxiliary power, giving her a speed of 5 knots approx., and our usual trading runs are between the Isle of Wight and the Mainland with coal, coke or scrap iron freights. My father had left me in charge of unloading one of these freights (scrap iron) at a Southampton Quay on May 29th, to go to hospital for the removal of some injured bone in a crushed finger he had got some weeks before. Accordingly, when some Officials arrived with orders that Ship was wanted on urgent Government work, I stated the case, they asked me would I go. I rang up to my home and told Mother I was going, hoping to be back soon, trusting to luck. I had some experience of being on my own in small sailing craft, but nothing like this before. Stating the case to the Officer, he arranged for some Dockyard men from Portsmouth to assist me to unload cargo, and get vessel to Portsmouth by the next morning (30th). I ran the Motor and took the wheel, they assisted in the ropes and getting up sails, and mooring up at the Dockyard on arrival. We got on well together and it is surprising what these men can do. The Officer got 6 Naval Ratings aboard with their kits. Morning and early afternoon were taken up by them bundling in provisions, stores, paraffin, petrol, lubricating oil, - it looked to be for a long voyage. The Officer was making sure of everything, for a few questions from him soon put him at ease, but I felt a little worse off for not knowing (though I might have surmised) where we were going to, or what we were going to do. I felt I might be in for a hot time, and my job as pro tem for the Skipper (Father) and Mate to be quite a "swizzle", and what did it mean with the disciplined seamen on board, seemingly in place of them. (The Officer chose some 6 good Naval ratings to accompany him). However, we got out of Portsmouth Harbour about 3.0.p.m. on May 30th with foresail and mizzen set, and motor. Outside we were favoured with a fresh wind, so the Naval Ratings got busy in assisting setting the heavy Mainsail and Jib for & good run down. We were making quite a good headway by the evening of 30th and I was preparing to keep ship going all night, when we heard many planes overhead, so we stopped the Motor and relied on our Sails, while wj still favoured us. But many times that night planes came in quit close range. As daylight broke we could see where we were and occasionally gunfire was heard, and planes above us.

Much the same thing happened- bombs dropped around me and the machine guns rattled overhead, but I was not so much worried about that as about keeping the engines running and I was thankful to have no more trouble with them. I did not see my original "crew" again, SO I dont know how they got on. No doubt they returned safe and sound, as I and the "Naiad Errant" did.... the job had been done. NOTE "Naiad Errant" a twin screw motor yacht of 9.12 gross tonnage (7.56 register tonnage) was built by William Osborn Limited of Littlehampton for Major and Mrs R.K.T. Nightingale and launched there in June 1939. She was registered at Littlehampton No. 167764 in 1939. In May 1940 she was lying at Clarks Wharf Sunbury on Thames when she was requisitioned by Admiralty during her owners temporary absence in Bath, and steamed down river the same night by Mr.H.C.H.Clark of Messrs Horace Clark & Son, Sunbury - on -Thames assisted by a crew composed of members of the Sunbury Auxiliary Fire Service to Ramsgate where she was handed over to Admiralty. On return from Dunkirk she was retained by Admiralty refitted at Clark's Wharf Sunbury on Thames and has since formed part of the "Mosquito Navy" engaged on coastal patrol service. Her Owner Major R.K.T.Nightingale M.C. is one of the crew of M.L. "Lady Ruth" of the Middlesex Flotilla of the Upper Thames Patrol (Home Guard) Able Sea- man Samuel Palmer D.S.M is now serving on H.M.S.Jackal.

165 Tuesday June I940 a police message arrived asking me to ring Commander Bowles Southend Naval Control. 16/5 Several questions were asked as to condition of Motor Vessel "Shamrock". She was in perfect condition and Fuel Tanks full, having just been passed by the Ministry of Shipping for the carrying of passengers on short trips from Canvey beach. Can you make the South Downs he asked, where is that Sir I replied, just off Deal and Dover. I agreed to try, and upon instructions proceeded to take on board 30 Gallons Fuel in 5 Gallons containers, sufficient food and water for four days, and discard the Buoyant apparatus which are always carried. Roy Brown aged I8 of Canvey Island answered my request by turning up at dawn with food and kit, we left with Donald my 29/- youngest son to see us off. On reaching Southend Naval Control we were informed the journey was to Dunkirk and a further IO Gallons of petrol was provided. Roy Brown at this stage was given an opportunity to stay behind but he declined and expressed his desire to accompany me. A requisition note was handed to me also a Special Route for Small Craft Thames to Dunkirk. reading:- you are to proceed at your utmost speed direct to the beaches eastward of Dunkirk, and course etc; before leaving I regret to note with displeasure four Skippers of upper Thames passenger Vessels said No when asked if they could make Dunkirk, although their bunkers were full and a heap of Fuel on deck they were immediately ordered to take their Vessels with the letter "M" on their funnels to Sheerness presumably to be taken over by Naval Units. Our four little crafts set off in Convoy, The Princess Maud Manned by Naval Ratings, The Canvey Queen by I Naval Rating and I Civillian, The Queen of England by 3 Civilians, The Shamrock by myself and Roy Brown, when off Shoeburyness the Canvey Queen received Engine trouble and we took her in fow almost to Mangate when she was able to proceed under her own power and remain SO. It was about 6 miles off Margate we sighted a British Fighter Aircraft about 50 feet above the water making a desperate bid to reach our shores, smoke pouring from its Engine as it wobbled and whizzed by us, we could only look and wish him silently a happy landing. The Maud called me alongside she was taking water rather badly and borrowed and kept my Bilge Pump she also seemed to have difficulty in keeping his proper course in spite of having both the Canvey Queen's Compass and my own on board. la runna Owing to the engines failing we had to leave with only a few troops, and WE proceeded back to Dunkirk W here we took five more loads off the shore which we were now able to do owing to the rising tide.

SURREY THOMAS BROS Tobacco Dealers and Cigar Merchants 20 SEP P.M. RECEIVED ESTABLISHED 21 S E.T.THOMAS D. S. THOMAS OLD CIGAR SHOP, KINGSTON-ON-THAMES or 1820. From:- MR. E. T. THOMAS, 13 Church Street, 183 The brew Director of Sea Transport, Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. September 19th 1940. Ministry of Shipping, Berkeley Square House, Berkeley Square, LONDON, W.1. Dear Sir, Your No. T.0.9144/STN.6B. - DUNKIRK EVACUATION. M/V "SURREY" - Four berth cabin cruiser 29' X 8' X 2'10" : Morris "Navigator" engine. In reply to your letter, I regret to say that I can give no information as to the part played by my craft during the actual evacuation. A Naval Officer requisitioned "Surrey", myself and a crew of one at Kingston, and handed me instructions to proceed to Sheerness, where the boat would be taken over by a Naval crew. On arrival, whe was immediately boarded by one regular rating and three reservists, who said that they had earmarked her for themselves as they watched her enter the dock, and so jumped on board quickly in case she was claimed by an officer. They remarked that "Surrey" was far too good to have an officer on board, especially in view of the large amount of foodstuff which had been taken on at Gravesend and Southend. I know nothing definite of her subsequent movements, except a report that she evacuated French and Belgian troops. This is probably correct, as a French rifle was found in a locker when the boat returned to the Thames. I hope that you will be able to get in touch with the Naval crew concerned, so that their names will go on record. Yours Eshamas faithfully, la Ranna which is about nine miles further round the coast. Owing to the engines failing we had to leave with only a few troop and WE proceeded back to Dunkirk W here we took five more loads off the shore which we were now able to do owing to the rising tide.

DUNKIRK CLAIMS COMMITTEE. 205 given sailing directions and told to join a convoy which had left an hour previously with "Queen Boadicea" and "Queen of the Thames". Before leaving, the Officer in charge kindly agreed to send telegrams to our respec- tive wives that we would not be home for a day or two. We set off at full speed and enquired of the Nore Light- ship if they had seen the convoy, but without success, so Horse Gore and South Channels we proceeded via the Cant. Four Fathoms/ and passed a convoy of about six vessels, but they were bound for Ramsgate. We arrived off Margate without having seen our convoy and as our compass has not been adjusted and could not be relied upon, we reported at Margate to Commander Stanslet, the Naval Officer in charge, who instructed us to proceed to Ramsgate. About 6 p.m. we arrived at Ramsgate and reported to the Officer in charge, and were supplied with steel helmets and life belts, and were instructed to join a convoy leaving Ramsgate the follow- ing day; having no facilities for sleeping on board, we stayed the night at an Hotel adjoining the harbour. On Thursday the 30th May, before we left Ramsgate a number of Naval Ratings whose boats had broken down were endeavouring to obtain berths as additional crews on boats which were leaving for Dunkirk, so we consented to take with us a man called McPherson who, I understood, had once been in the Naval Air Force and was a very use- ful man. At 6.45 p.m. on the same day we joined a convoy of ten craft headed by "Bonny Heather" all towing ship's boats, and proceeded on a coursefor Dunkirk. At 8 p.m. the engine started to falter, the cause obviously being a failure of the petrol supply. I stopped the engine and disconnected the petrol pipes and endeavoured to clear the obstruction, and had the engine going again in about 25 minutes. -2-

COPY. 63 THE DUNKIRK EVACUATION. s.t. "TANGA". 158 May 30th. At 9-15 p.m. left Tilbury Landing Stage towing 12 ships lifeboats anchored off Southend 11-0 p.m. May 31st. At 1-40 a.m. received orders to get underway at 4-0 a.m. and tow boats to Ramsgate. Anchored off Ramsgat about 10 a.m. At 2-0 p.m. four Lewis guns and two gunners came on board, also Liut. Com. and Lieut. R.N.R. We then took six boats in tow and proceeded towards Dunkirk. About 7-30 p.m., when nearing Dunkirk, German 'planes started bombing and machine-gunning. When the bombs exploded it seemed to lift us up out of the sea. We arrived off Dunkirk Harbour about 8-40 p.m. but had to go 6 miles further on tb the beaches. We sipped our boats and hung off. Our boats had to fill up and take the troops to the larger vessels. 1st June. About 3-50 a.m. some of our boats returned to us with about 16° troops. We took them on board, abandoned all but one motor boat and had to run for it. When abreast of Dunkirk Harbour we fell in with a small boat with 6 men in it. We stopped and picked the up and they were the sole survivors of 25 from the H.M. Tug "ST. FAGAN", which had been bombed with her tow of three Thames barges, two of the barges were also blown up. A mile further on we picked up Barge "PUDGE" with four men on board, two badly wounded. So we towed her back to Ramsgate where we anchored off at 9-0 a.m. Motor boats came off and landed our troops. At 4-0 p.m. we hove up, towing four boats and proceeded again to Dunkirk, arrived off about 10-30 p.m., slipped our boats as before and we paddled about outside. 2nd June. At 3-30 a.m. we were ordered to clear out and run for it. Not one of our boats had returned to us. Othe r boats had brought us about 90 British and 8° French troops to us, so we proceeded back to Ramsgate, towing one disabled motor boat, arriving back at 8-0 a.m. 3rd June. At 4-30 p.m. we left Ramsgate once again towing 4 motor boats. Arrived off unkirk at 11- p.m. Slipped our boats and awaited as before. 4th June. About 2-° a.m., Tugs "SUN IV,XV", "RACIA" and "TANGA" were ordered to go alongside Pierhead inside and get as many troops as possible We all went in, no sooner had we got alongside the ladders when we were ordered to clear out as fast as possible. We only managed to get 37 French toops, not any of our boats returned to us. We cleased the Pier head about 2-35 a.m., when a German plane started bombing. Our Lieut. Com. gave orders to fire our guns. We were firing 5 Lewis and 3 Bren guns. There were about 50 men on our deck aft and they all say that our Lewis gunner aft with twin Lewis guns brought the 'plane down. We saw the 'plane crash from our bridge and we were alll happy about it. About 3 miles from the North Goodwin Lightship we fell in with a French fishing Lugger with a crew of three on board, as they did not appear to know where they were ge took them in tow and anchored them off Ramsgate about 7-30 a.m. (Signed) H.P.

CONFIDENTIAL. Dynam. 97. H.M.S. Tynedale. 52 c/o Alex. GOvan Stephen & Sons Ltd. Glasgow. 7th. June 1940 Sir, In accordance with verbal instructions received from the Commodore's secretary R.N. Barracks, Chatham, I have the honour to make the following report of proceedings of H.M.S. Doggers- bank for the period Sunday 26th. May to Wednesday 5th. June, in connection with the evacuation of military personnel from Dunkirk beaches. 2. I took over the Dutch Scoot "Doggersbank" from her owner captain at Gravesend and commissioned her with a crew of one other Lieutenant R.N. and 9 ratings. We sailed P.M. for Sheerness where we secured alongside at about 2000. Stores adequate in quantity and description were all ready to be loaded into the ship on arrival, the whole organisation being extremely good. Ship was swung at 0930 next mOrning and we sailed at I600 for Dunkirk, anchoring in the Thames estuary during the hours of tax darkness. 3. We arrived at Dunkirk about noon on Tuesday 27th. and were told to proceed to Brai Beach where I grounded the ship with a kedge anchor payed out from astern. Our draught (6ft.) proved however to be too great to enable the soldiers to wade out to us so the life-boat and life saving raft were hoisted out and used to ferry the men from beach to ship. The boats were inx immediately mobbed on arrival inshore and swamped. They were righted and bailed out but considerable difficulty was experienced in preventing too many men trying to embark each trip. Later in the day the Army officers ashore organised their men and military police prevented the men rushing the boats and shot anybody who attempted to do so. This very much expediated the embarkation By about 2000 Ihad embarked some 450 men most of whom had been on the beach 3 days without food or water though a great many had water bottles full of Whisky. Our stores and fresh water were consequently finished within an hour. 5. At this time there was a great lack of boats on the beach so I considered that I would be most usefully employed going as close inshore as I was able, colecting a full load X and then transferring them to bigger craft further out which I accordingly did, collecting water and biscuits when alongside Destroyers. 6. About this time Imanaged to pick up some abandoned boats but had not got the hands to work them so Ijoined all my lines to-gether, sent one end to the beach where I had it hauled up beyond high water mark, the other end I secured to my life- saving raft which I anchored as far out as my length of lines would allow me. We then proceeded as close inshore as we could, picked up the grass and used it as a warp between ship and shore. The soldiers were very reluctant to wade out to the boats after dark so embarkation became slow despite the guest warp. I had however collected another load by the morning and as there were no Destroyers or other larger craft near the beach I was on I had to take my load up to La Pan. As far as I The Vice-Admiral Dover. (Copy to the Commander-in-Chief, The Nore.)

217 205 OPERATION DYNAMO ENCLOSURE NO. 3 B SHIP:- M.D. AURA OFFICER:- SUB. LIEUT. M.A. CHODZKO, R.N.V.R. REPORT I. 1st On Saturday, June 3rd, I received instructions to take charge of the Motor Launch AURA and proceed to a beach East of Dunkirk Harbour. Left Dover Harbour towed by drifter GIRL GLADYS at 15.30. Before leaving it had been reported to me that the AURA'S engine was not operating successfully, in as much that she would not come astern. As the weather appeared to be favourable there seemed no reason why the operation could not be carried out. X We shipped from GIRL GLADYS in the proximity of 5W Buoy and proceeded Eastwards. I was able to tow cutters from one of the Paddle Steamers to the beach on this first trip inwards. The time was 0100 - About 100 British troops were transferred from the shore to various vessels. The engine was giving considerable trouble so that shortly after 0215, June 4th, it failed completely. The launch was then manoeuvred towards some Thames Sailing Barges, and we endeavoured to repair the engine. On examination we found that a defective dynamo was causing the trouble, and as operations were ordered to cease at 0300, I decided to abandon AURA at 0245. I transferred the crew to a dinghy which we found, and then managed to get aboard a "paddle steamer" which was getting under way. All members of my crew behaved excellently throughout the twelve hours. REPORT II. 2nd On Sunday, June 4th, I repaired aboard the drifter YORKSHIRE LASS in the capacity of Skipper. I received orders to proceed to Dunkirk Harbour. Leaving Dover at about 1515, we arrived off Dunkirk at 0000. Off the S. Foreland Lieutenant Commander Prior, Royal Navy, was transferred from the drifter U.UTPROSIM aboard the YORKSHIRE LASS. There was little delay in arriving alongside and we started embarking French troops before 0030. Another drifter arrived alongside our vessel so we transferred our troops and carried on loading. By 00115 we seemed to be practically full. There appeared to be no more troops on our portion of the jetty and I dispatched a soldier to see if we could collect another 50 men. Other ships were arriving alongside, so by 0130 we were steaming out of the Harbour. During the whole operation, and during the passage, the troops behaved in an orderly manner. During the homeward passage the vessel developed a hot bearing, and as it was just daybreak, I signalled SUN XI to take us in tow until repairs were effected. Within three quarters of an hour we proceeded under our own power and arrived in Harbour at 0830 Monday, June 5th. The whole ships company were highly efficient in their duty, and on investigation 100 French troops and 3 British Tommies had been transported. The British Tommies reported as having lost their division, and had only arrived in Dunkirk on Saturday. Report ends.

All ships were underweigh within of a few of the signal being decoded and proceeded towards under dark night conditions was not easy and I consider credit the North Goodwin. The passage through the Edinburgh Channels is due to the Commanding Officers of the ships for the way in which they were handled. The signal was cancelled before ships reached North Goodwin and they returned to normal duties. Early on 28th May ships were ordered to return to Sheerness forthwith and land surplas crew not required for embarking troops. I had previously issued a memorandum on the steps to be taken if ships were used as troop carriers so that ships were ready with the necessary organisation and special arrangements. Later only two ships were stated to be required and I detailed "Royal Eagle" and "Crested Eagle" and myself decided to go to the "Royal Eagle". Ships sailed from Sheerness at 1400 and were ordered to proceed to the Downs. On arrival at the Downs I reported the arrival of both ships to the Vice Admiral, Dover and also endeavoured to find out from every ship visible in the Downs if there were any orders for me. There were a number of troopers and hospital ships present so I put ships to short notice for steam and anchored for the night. There was considerable activity amongst the transports during the early morning so that I again asked for instructions and was then told to proceed to Dunkirk by route "y" (Goodwin to West Hinder). I stationed "Crested Eagle" astern and proceeded at 1030 high speed. On approaching the Belgian Coast I noticed a few rounds from Shore Batteries falling round ships ahead of me but the firing was not at all intense. On approaching Dunkirk I saw a large number of men on the-beaches as far as La Panne so not being able to get any instructions from anyone proceeded to the spot where British Troops appeared thickest and anchored at about 1530 close inshore to embark them. I sent "Crested Eagle" to Dunkirk as I felt that on account of my original instructions ships might have been wanted there - however she soon re-appeared and anchored about 2 miles East of me and contenced embarking troops. At about 1630 German planes were sighted and "Royal Eagle" opened a heavy fire - the plane carried out a high bombing attack on ships and beaches. The "Royal Eagle" was only hit by splinters but a Drifter near was set on fire and H.M.S. proceeded under her own steam. A number of casualties occurred "Greyhound" appeared to receive severe damage - although she later to boats and soldiers and were taken in board - amongst them volunteer crew and I regret to say died some hours later. the Paymaster crews Subo Lieutenant of H.M.S.

SECRET FROM SENIOR OFFICER, THAMES LOCAL DEFENCE FLOTILLA. Dynamo 132 282 DATE 5th June, 1940. 267 TO EXTENDED DEFENCES OFFICER, SHEERNESS. REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS MAY OF A/A SHIPS - OF THAMES LOCAL DEFENCE FLOTILLA. 31st JUNE 3rd. on May 31st H.M.S. "Royal Eagle" proceeded to a buoy and reported On completing discharge of the Military Units at Sheerness ready to proceed. that all paddle minesweepers and minesweepers were to proceed On June 1st at 0800 a signal was received from V.A. Dover, forthwith to the beaches and I at once went on board "Royal Eagle" and after having embarked extra lifebelts and some rafts from the North Wall at Sheerness the ship proceeded to the beaches via route "X" at full speed. When half way across a signal was received from V.A. Dover ordering "Royal Eagle" to Ramsgate to await instructions so the ship was turned and anchored off Ramsgate. No instructions were received but an Examination Vessel called alongside with a set of directions to minesweepers and paddle minesweepers to proceed to a point 11/2 miles East of Dunkirk at 2200 to embark troops. I endeavoured to obtain confirmation that "Royal Eagle" was meant to be included in the signal but not obtaining this I signalled that I intended to proceed and left at 1530. "Royal Eagle" was the first ship to arrive off the beaches at 2200 and I directed the Commanding Officer to anchor a full 1½ miles from the breakwater so as to leave room for the ships coming on to anchor astern. On arrival a French drifter with some French soldiers arrived alongside and disembarked them but by 2320 I had seen no sign of any boats although by then some six or more sweepers had arrived and I made a signal to V.A. Dover to this effect. A signal was received that all sweepers were to be underway and clear of Dunkirk by 0300, and I presumed that this was on account of the shelling which was fairly continuous, though in the dark not very accurate. It seemed as if the enemy had registered on a wreck a few hundred yards away from "Royal Eagle" as most of the shells fell between "Royal Eagle" and the wreck or just around the wreck. "Royal Eagle" was spattered with shell plinters and I kept the ship's company below the upper deck as much as possible. A little before 0300 "Royal Eagle" commenced to weigh but two boats were sighted inshore with no ship near them and they were injured from a power lighter which was manned by naval ratings. the last closed and their occupants picked up as well as two seriously but one Eagle" ship to clear.

SECRET Dyram FROM The The Senior Officers in Command, H.M.S. GOLDEN EAGLE through 275 Officer, Thames Local Defence Flotilla. DATE 4th June 1940. TO gunds The Extended Defences Officer, Sheerness. SUBJECT. Report of Proceedings - Golden Eagle. May 29 - June 2nd 1940. Submitted On May 29th about 1045 ship received orders tp proceed to position 9 miles East of Dunkirk and embark troops. Ship sailed at 1140 and arrived inj position south of Quint Bank buoy about 1820 where a number of men were seen swimming in the water. GOLDEN EAGLE picked up all that remained in the water (some 285) and it was realised that two trawlers were also present picking up men. A French destroyer was present but left without taking any part in the rescue work. It was ascertained that these survivors (British soldiers) were from H.M.S. WAVERLEY who had been sunk by bombs about an hour previously. Ship then proceeded straight back to Margate and anchored at 0035, May 30th. At 0445 went alongside and disembarked survivors. At 1000 proceeded from Margate by route "Y" and arrived at the Dyck buoy at 1322 when a signal was 30 received saying that ships were to use route "X". Ship was turned about and proceeded by "X" route to "W" buoy, when the Commanding Officer did not seem sure of his position and returned to "R" buoy and then finally returned to Margate where ship was berthed at 2137. The Commanding Officer had previously made a signal to say he was unwell and on arrival was seen by a medical officer on the pier and was sent ashore. GOLDEN EAGLE then shoved off and proceeded alongside H.M.S. GUILLEMOT at 2359 and filled up with oil. At 0430 in the absence of any orders it was decided to leave for Dunkirk. Proceedings were then as follows:- 0742. Passed close to Dunkirk harbour entrance. Tried to get in touch with pierhead but failed. 0807. Anchored in position 2± miles N.E. of harbour. Dunkirk High Lighthouse bearing 224 deg. 2.4 miles. Lowered two boats and embarked about 40 troops from the beach. Received information that more troops were further East and owing to great number of boats and facilities in present position decided that GOLDEN EAGLE would be of greater assistance further East. 1005. Weig/hed and proceeded. 1035. Observed large number of troops waiting by Zuidcoote Sanaterium and no boats or ships in immediate vicinity. 1040 Anchored in 2₂ fathoms in position Dunkirk High lighthouse bearing 237 deg. 3.25 miles. Established communication ashore by using ship's ropes secured ashore and by using two ship's boats and two small boats salved from beach, ferried troops from beach to ship. Owing to falling tide, shallow water and inshore swell operations were difficult and troops had to wade into 3 feet of water to keep boats afloat but by changing the boats creews for every trip - about 60 troops per hour were embarked. During this time bombing, shelling and aerial and machine gunning took place, and gun's crews were continually on the alert and in action and embarking operations continued without a break. Embarked about 340 troops.

2. 364 342 Greatly to the Waster's disappointment, X 213's machinery was not in a good enough condition for her to be used. 78. Owing to a misunderstending, not here, which I have been unable to trace, the motor boats which should have hours later. Suspecting that the fifth column was at work reached Sheerness from the Thames Adid not arrive until 24 Lou 30ᵗʰ hi I informed your Chief of Staff, D.S.V.P., V.A. Dover, N.O.I.C.s Ramsgate and Margate of the circumstances, and of my intention to ignore any such messages. No possible harm could have been done by sending boats on, at any rate as far as Ramsgate. Had these boats not been delayed, they would have been available on the last day on which evacuation from the beaches was still going on. Some of them were employed on the last two days in the vicinity of Dunkirk. 8. The type of machinery fitted in many of the boats and its defective state, presented F.E.O. and Sheerness Dockyard with some difficult problems and a great deal of hard work, which was tackled, night and day, with great zeal and energy. Some of the boats broke down later on, much to the disappointment of their crews, who had done their best. Most of them, I think succeeded in joining other boats and making at least one trip to the French coast. 9. The total number of craft prepared for service and sent out from Sheerness was as follows :- 100 Motor Boats 10 Lighters 7 Schuits 1 Oil tanker 6 Paddle Steamers 10. On Sunday June 2nd, having got away all the personnel and everything afloat that was sufficiently in good condition to do useful service, I went to Ramsgate with Commander Troup, arriving about 1600, in order to help N.O.I.C. and to endeavour to assist in the cooperation of motor boats with larger vessels. I went in with a group of Schuits and slow motor boats to the beach at St. Malo les Bains, where a British Officer who had just got back reported that there were British troops who had been unable to get into Dunkirk. None were found. I have no doubt however from later enquiries that they had got into the town. A volunteer whose name I have not yet been able to get, landed from one of the Schuits and walked along the beach to make sure there were none left. We brought him off and his boat's crew, and a number of French soldiers who were pulling for England in a small boat. Commander Troup took the fast Army motor boats into Dunkirk alongside the centre pier and brought off 79 French troops when his boat was rammed by a French tug and had to be abandoned. 11. On Monday night I took a group of slow otor boats up to the Quay Felix Faure, at the top of Dunkirk harbour. I went on ahead in the fast boat "Marlborough" to identify the quay. The motor boats were led in by the "Mermaiden", Sub Lieut who did very well to find the place in the dark. 300 French Marines were embarked in the motor boats and a French Trawler. Their bearing was excellent. As the quay was now clear, and machine gun fire was getting a little near, I decided not to get the motor boats back on the chance of another load of troops. At had the misfortune to scrape over some masonry that had fallen this period through no fault of the Officer at the wheel, we from the quay, losing our propellers and rudder.

3. 365 Eventually a motor yacht got us in tow and took us to Dover. Commander Troup went with the fast boats to the outer - 343 port. He made himself piermaster on the western mole and conducted the embarkation of about 10,000 French troops. He also had some anxious moments, as the boat which was to fetch him broke down. Another turned up in which he embarked with a French General Lucas and many StafffOfficers and men; and thus had the honour of being the last man to leave Dunkirk. 12. As Officers and Coxswains pass through Sheerness, endeavour is being made to extract full accounts of their adventures. N.O.I.C. Ramsgate is doing the same. These reports are being forwarded to Vice Admiral, Dover, but copies of those obtained here are attached. Even so it will be impossible to do justice to the services of these young Officers, ratings and volunteers, most of whom were acting independently, without anyone to see how they conducted themselves. A list of those who came under my personal observation is attached. 13. Until all reports have been compared and lists of Officers, men, and volunteers going out and returning have been checked, the number of casualties remains unscertain. Many boats have had to be abandoned owing to grounding, collision or fouled' propellers, but in most cases the crews transferred to other craft, One craft is known to have been sunk by bomb. "New Prince of Wales". Large motor craft. Officer in command, Sub Lieut.P.L.H. Bennett, R.N., now in R.N. S.P.H.E. Hospital, Chatham. Two ratings are believed to have been killed, but I have not been able to get this confirmed. Several motor boats sailed direct from Southend for the beaches with volunteer crews who had not signed on. There may be others, of which there will be no record. Considering the heavy bombing, shelling and machine gun fire experienced by many of the boats, the casualties seem to be lighter than might well have been expected. 14. It would be impossible to speak too highly of the spirit which has animated all those who have been concerned in "Dynamo". Everyone tried to do their best for the Armies at Dunkirk, and those whose fortunes it was to get across and bring some of them off, will always look back on it with deep satisfaction. Some of the crews got their boats as far as Ramsgate, only to find that owing to the shortcomings of their vessels, they could get no further, but many of them succeeded in finding another boat with room for them. A young Able Seaman, whose boat sank after bringing off 1,000 men, did much, by his sheerful talk and bearing, to bring about this happy result. His name is Here at Sheerness the Commodore and his staff, H.M.S. "Wildfire", and the dockyard did all that man could do to hasten the preparation and sailing of the varied fleet of craft which arrived here, some of them needing much attention. With the exception of the Thames steamers, which could not run in salt water, though they had a good try at it, very few craft failed to achieve at least one trip to the French coast. Many men from the "Wildfire" offered their services, though only a few could be allowed to go, and more would have done so had it been possible to spare their services

Dyram. 147 428 H.M. Tug "St. Clears", 401 Sheerness. TO: KING'S HARBOUR MASTER. 7th June, 1940. Sir, Tug "St. during the evacuation of troons from H.M. area. I Clears" submit the following report and the movements of COPY. ZIA a 40.0 S.S. "RYE" at Jersey, 5th June 1940. ssociated Humber Lines, arine Dept., ULL. OF Sir, June, 1940. I beg to report that at 8.45 pm. on Tuesday, 4th, when passing Dover I observed a motor boat about two miles outside my track, flying a white flag and trying to attract attention. I proceeded to boat and found it packed with soldiers who said they were French from Dunkirk and had no more petrol. After careful examination I allowed them to come on board unarmed, and towed the boat towards Dover Harbour, distance about five miles. After speaking the examination vessel I anchored and a tug was sent out to me. The men, 24 and four Officers, 28 in all, were sent on the tug and the tug towed the boat into the Harbour. I then proceeded at 11.10 pm. to my destination. The boat was the "Diana Mary" a British boat about 30 feet long. I sent a man down to make boat well fast and steer it. This man noticed a licence on dashboard Thames Conservancy". One of the French Officers told how, at 7 am. on Tuesday morning, his party selected this boat out of a number abandoned on the beach. She was well provisioned with food and a note in the boat in English read "good luck to those who get her." These soliders When waited for tide to float it and then pushed out to sea. I picked them up at 8.45 pm. they had not the least idea where they were. Fog had been general all day. Yours faithfully, Sgd. A. Hiley.

- 4 472 an open with soldiers was off hailed. He reported having picked with during daylight. boat in tow About half-way across a French trawler boat up for h ich Dunkirk and it was thought this might the be the boat we were searching. To make sure we barge with set were found approximately three miles from proceeded to sail Dunkirk where хихария two open boats and a Thames the coast. The first open boat yielded five Spanieards, the second one about 6 soldiers, Belgian, French and English. We then went alongside the Thames barge at approximately 1330. This was found to contain about 220 soldiers including two Colonels and a Major of Artillery, and various wounded. They were endeavouring to sail to England but had made approximately three miles in 10 hours, see note below. Motor-mechanic Whittaker fitted a new piston to the air compressor motor while the 1st Lieut. and myself trimmed the sails. They had no charts on board. The air compressor motor was made to run but all efforts to start the diesel failed. I then left my lst.Lieut., SublLieut. Dehammel with instructions to sail the barge to Dover,and proceeded along the coast having opened up the distance to search for the "Girl Gladys". About two miles to the east I found an open boat containing 18 soldiers who were embarked, after which we approached to withing approximately three miles of the coast slightly to the eastward of La Panne. Visibility was good and no sign of the drifter could be seen, the search was therefore abandoned and course was set to intercept the Thames barge. At approximately 1720 when out of sight of land we were attacked by eight six or eight dive-bombers, 20 to 30 bombs were dropped and fell at distances varying from 10 to 50 yards of the ship. The bombers appeared to attack in pairs out of the sun and having released their bombs continued their dive firing machine- guns. Course was altered frequently in an endeavour to miss the bombs. Some appeared to explode after entering the water, some on striking the surface and a certain appeared not to explode at all. One exploded under the bow right ahead and the ship passed through the splash. A certain amount of discomfort was experienced by myself and members of the crew who were exposed. to the splash in the x eyes for the next twelve hours or 30. Able-Seaman Power was wounded in the leg when manning the port turrett also one of the soldiers in the fore peak. As I now had wounded on board I considered it advisable to return to Dover forthwith and to ask for assistance for the barge. A tug was sent out at approximately 2100 and found the barge sailing well about 10 miles from Dover. I consider Sub Lieut, DeHammel performed a very creditable operation. The bombing to which the ship had been subjected had caused leaks to the hull and the petrol tank and the ship was not used again for that night's operation. on passage to Dunkirk. 0115 Arrived Dunkirk and embarked C.O's of block-ships and Captain Dangerfield. Carried out reconnaissance of the harbour.

- 5 - 473 a 445 The career of the Thames barge before meeting 3.0.6. is worthy of comment. From accounts tt would seem that the 220 soldiers arrived at Braye dunes at approximately 0500 and saw the barge lying off-shore. They waded out and found she was aground. One officer examined the engine and when the ship floated with the rising tide started the diesel. Unfortunately it was in astern and they again beached themselves. After some delay they floated off and again started the engines making sure it was in shead. They came up all standing on the anchor. After ineffective efforts to weigh the anchor they ran it out to & clinch and let it go., by which time the air bottles were exhausted and they were unable to start the diesel. They therefore decided to sail, but due to the absence of anyone with sailing knowledge their efforts created nothing but slight leeway which was counteracted by the set. They were therefore stationary they when discovered. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of all members of the crew during this somewhat trying time and it is difficult to mention anyone speliciabliyssex specifically. toget Sub.Lieut.Dehammel's safe-conduct of the barge is worthy of note, while the tireless energy and keenness of motor-mechanic Whittaker and the efficient way in which he kept the engines running and dealt with unexpected contingencies was also a magnificient effort.

May, to take light draught river craft to Dunkirk to embark troops from the I was sent to Sheerness with about 12 others on Wednesday, 29th beaches. My time table for the next five days was briefly as follows:- Thursday, 30th May. Left Sheerness on "Maldon Annie* bound for Ramsgate and Dunkirk. Friday, 31st May. Reached Dunkirk in tow with engine broken down cutter. and vessel derelict. Embarked men from the beach in & naval 12 Saturday, 1st June. In Ramsgate on harbour duties. Sunday, 2nd June. To Dunicirk in motor boat "Wind of the Morning". Monday, 3rd June. To Dunkirk in charge of tug "Dyomodary". I regret to report that "Maldon Annie", the small Thames pleasure boat of which I was in charge had to be abandoned,at Dunkirk. The magneto of her engine broke down before we reached Ramsgate and she was then towed by the convoying trawler "Strathelliott". "Mation Annie" was only built for river work and she was not strong enough for the sea. The tow rope pulled all the bollards and cleats out of her, one after another, (the fastenings wro & bit nailsicktoo), and eventually it was only possible to tow with & strop right round the boat. At the same time the pumps choked and could hot be freed, as her bilge was full of rubbish, and she made water faster than - could sail. By the time we reached Dunkirk after a slow crossing, she was dereliot and had to be left on the beach. I transferred to a large diesel-engined barge and carried about 120 French troops to her in a Naval cutter. We left for Ramagate with & full load about midnight. I reported the next morning, (Saturday) to the Port Captain. That day the only work available was landing troops from transports and carrying orders to ships, but on Sunday I was able to get another notor boat, called "Wind of the Morning". We left in the late afternoon with a number of other notor boats; enemy aircraft were about all the way across, and when - were 10 miles from Dunkirk their fighters circled over us for some time in the dark. la went. dead slow so that the phosphorescence in our wake should not show us up and after a time the enemy attacked the next boat ahead which replied with went machine gun fire. After two unsuccessful attacks the enemy went off and we on our way. Before reaching Dunkirk however, we were stopped by & British The Captain's Secretary. H.M.S. FERVENT. RAMSGATE.
