Red List (1939–40) — OCR
46 records46 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.

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 The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

-3- to 188 At this time a terrific aerial battle was on, shells from shore batteries were falling around and bombs dropping all over the place in close proximity. As I was towing this boat I saw a bomb hit the pleasure steamer "PRINCE OF WALES". I closed her and took aboard two badly wounded Officers and two ratings. I offered to go aboard as she was sinking slowly, but was told only two dead remained on board. Just before this, ordinary seaman Purbrick fell overboard from exhaustion and I picked him up somehow. My Cox. was sleeping on his feet on and off and the two others lay down and stood up as strength permitted. The C.O. of the "PRINCE OF WALES", although covered in blood, offered to try and steer the boat. I then saw a man swimming naked in the water. Stopped and got him. Next a heavily loaded boat of soldiers turned right over close inshore, and left the men struggling in the water. I got down to them and rescued the lot personally hauling them aboard with my crews feeble assistance. While doing this, I got a rope round my Starboard screw and fouled the rudder. I now had a full load of soldiers on board (six wounded) a full boat load towing and soldiers clinging to the stern. With what I thought was the last of my strength, I got my launch alongside a lifeboat and from there hauled her hand over hand, by means of a grass rope, up to the sloop "MOSQUITO". I then discovered the lifeboat's propeller was also fouled. Neither I nor my crew could clear the propeller, so I boarded "MOSQUITO" and asked the 1st Lieutenant to send someone to do so. Meanwhile, I went below for a cup of tea. I came on deck in fifteen minutes, but the rope could not be cleared I was told. Air battle still in progress with bombs dropping all around. I then with difficulty closed the yacht "GALETA" and asked her to take me in tow. The C.O.'s ship was in a very bad position with regard to German shore batteries, nevertheless, he wanted another boat load of troops before leaving and asked me to try and close the beach and get one. I said I would, but asked him to watch out for me in case I got ashore. I proceeded towards the beach just then coincident with an explosion of some kind. The launch seemed to rise from the water, fall back, rise again and fall back. I could only move slowly now and I saw the yacht was drawing the fire from shore. One of the crew called out that the yacht was signalling me. I looked round and saw she was signalling me. With great difficulty I got alongside and made her fast for towing, then slumped on the yacht's deck, stupified with exhaustion, want of sleep and food, I suppose. Unfortunately the tow rope parted a few minutes later. The C.O. of yacht objected and rightly so to going back to the shealed area with his ships and troops on board. So the "TRITON" was left afloat with a rope round her screw and a badly damaged stem and stern. I regret exceedingly that I did not get her home again for various reasons. It was about 1840 31st May, 1940, when my activities ceased. I had been on my feet from 0700 29th May, to 1840 31st May, 1940, in a small craft, without sleep and the only food eaten from 2000 29th May to that time was one tin of herrings, ont tin of bully beef and between five and two slices of bread each also four cups of tea without sugar. We simply had not time to eat. A few more remarks and I finish. I was the only Commissioned Officer (excluding Commodore Skippers) who was constantly in the boats at La Panne. I took off more troops than I can remember there - scores and scores of boat loads and I venture to say if my boat had not remained there to the last, hundreds would never have got away.

Augmented by additional officers, including both Army and Royal Air Force, specially appointed for the occasion, their task of organising and operating the large and varied collection of H.M. ships continued without a pause day and night throughout the 10 days that the Operation lasted, and I can never testify adequately to the excellence of their work, upon the efficiency of which successful results depended.

The attributes of this officer for initiative and resource are well known throughout the Service, but I venture to express the opinion that never in the course of his long and distinguished career have they been put to better use than during the operations for the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk. 17.

-3- representation must take precedence over any normal form of proportion as between officers and men. 6. In List 'A', 93 H. M. Ships and Vessels and 80 requisitioned or other small craft and tenders are represented, ye besides beach parties, pier parties, and base organisations. r In List "B", 42 H. M. Ships and Vessels and 37 requisitioned or other small craft and tenders are included; some of them are also represented in List 'A'. The total number of H. M. Ships and Vessels and requisitioned small craft and motor boats manned and working independently in this Operation is unknown, but is estimated to be 600. There were besides H. M. Ships' own boats, a further large number of open boats used in tow or as tenders to the larger craft, estimated at about 200, 7. As will be seen from the above, it has been impossible to recommend decorations for more than a small percentage of the personnel engaged in the operation. It is therefore submitted to Their Lordships that consideration should be given either to the issue of a special plaque to each ship engaged in the operation, or that a special medal be struck, in :h addition to any decorations awarded, to be worn by any officer or rating actually taking part in the operation afloat or on the beaches at Dunkirk. of the two, I would prefer the issue of a. medal for the following reasons: (a) That many unrecorded acts of gallantry and examples of meritorious service took place in small craft and on the beaches and piers which deserve recognition. (b). A great number of the personnel were not in ships or boats at all, being used for beach parties, etc. (c). A plaque could only be issued to a ship, and many hundreds of the personnel engaged were in small boats requisitioned for the purpose. 8. In conclusion, I would refer to Dover Despatch A.14/0/876/40 of the 18th June, 1940, in which I made special reference to the invaluable services of the following officers, whom I trust Their Lordships will recommend to His Majesty for decoration in recognition of their outstanding services throughout Operation Dynamo. Vice Admiral Sir James Somerville, K.C.B., D.S.O. Appointed to H.M.S. LYNX, special service, in connection with the evacuation. The attributes of this officer for initiative and resource are well known throughout the service, but I venture to express the opinion, never in the course of his long and distinguished career have they been put to better use than during the operations for the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk.

a 188 At this time a terrific aerial battle was on, shells from shore batteries were falling around and bombs dropping all over the place in close proximity. As I was towing this boat I saw a bomb hit the pleasure steamer "PRINCE OF WALES". I closed her and took aboard two badly wounded Officers and two ratings. I offered to go aboard as she was sinking slowly, but was told only two dead remained on board. Just before this, ordinary seaman Purbrick fell overboard from exhaustion and I picked him up somehow. My Cox. was sleeping on his feet on and off and the two others lay down and stood up as strength permitted. The C.O. of the "PRINCE OF WALES", although covered in blood, offered to try and steer the boat. I then saw a man swimming naked in the water. Stopped and got him. Next a heavily loaded boat of soldiers turned right over close inshore, and left the men struggling in the water. I got down to them and rescued the lot personally hauling them aboard with my crews feeble assistance. While doing this, I got a rope round my Starboard screw and fouled the rudder. I now had a full load of soldiers on board (six wounded) a full boat load towing and soldiers clinging to the stern. With what I thought was the last of my strength, I got my launch alongside a lifeboat and from there hauled her hand over hand, by means of a grass rope, up to the sloop "MOSQUITO". I then discovered the lifeboat's propeller was also fouled. Neither I nor my crew could clear the propeller, so I boarded "MOSQUITO" and asked the 1st Lieutenant to send someone to do so. Meanwhile, I went below for a cup of tea. I came on deck in fifteen minutes, but the rope could not be cleared I was told. Air battle still in progress with bombs dropping all around. I then with difficulty closed the yacht "GALETA" and asked her to take me in tow. The C.O.'s ship was in a very bad position with regard to German shore batteries, nevertheless, he wanted another boat load of troops before leaving and asked me to try and close the beach and get one. I said I would, but asked him to watch out for me in case I got ashore. I proceeded towards the beach just then coincident with an explosion of some kind. The launch seemed to rise from the water, fall back, rise again and fall back. I could only move slowly now and I saw the yacht was drawing the fire from shore. One of the crew called out that the yacht was signalling me. I looked round and saw she was signalling me. With great difficulty I got alongside and made her fast for towing, then slumped on the yacht's deck, stupified with exhaustion, want of sleep and food, I suppose. Unfortunately the tow rope parted a few minutes later. The C.O. of yacht objected and rightly so to going back to the shealed area with his ships and troops on board. So the "TRITON" was left afloat with a rope round her screw and a badly damaged stem and stern. I regret exceedingly that I did not get her home again for various reasons. It was about 1840 31st May, 1940, when my activities ceased. I had been on my feet from 0700 29th May, to 1840 31st May, 1940, in a small craft, without sleep and the only food eaten from 2000 29th May to that time was one tin of herrings, ont tin of bully beef and between five and two slices of bread each also four cups of tea without sugar. We simply had not time to eat. A few more remarks and I finish. I was the only Commissioned Officer (excluding Commodore Skippers) who was constantly in the boats at La Panne. I took off more troops than I can remember there - scores and scores of boat loads and I venture to say if my boat had not remained there to the last, hundreds would never have got away.
