Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel.
SEA TRANSPORT OFFICERS.
The work done by the Sea Transport Officers throughout the Operation of Dynamo, entailed an enormous amount of labour, which was carried out in a highly efficient manner.
Commodore Jukes-Hughes was in charge at Dover, and it was entirely due to his organisation and smooth working that enabled nearly 181,000 to be disembarked at Dover without any hitch whatsoever, and at Folkestone, nearly 32,000.
Commodore Edward Glyn de Styrap Jukes-Hughes.,R.N. (Retd.)
As P.S.T.O. was responsible for the successful disembarkation of troops, and the greatest credit is due to the capable and efficient way in which the troops were disembarked and able manner in which he was able to arrange for the quick turn rounds of the various transports that came into harbour.

In addition to carrying out the ordinary duties of Sea Transport Officer, Lieutenant MacKewn went in command of an armed party to the ST. SEIRIOL, where the Master had refused to sail, thereby showing great devotion to duty.

Lieutenant-Commander Ralph William Soper, R.N.R.
In addition to carrying out his ordinary duties, this officer volunteered to take over the duty of
Chief Officer of Transport, Canterbury, as there was no relief available, thereby showing great devotion to duty.
Recommended for decoration.
Major Lionel Steele Wilkinson, R.M.
During the period of the operation he was in almost constant attendance at the office and was only absent for very brief periods for sleep. His local knowledge was of great assistance to the
P.S.T.O., and a great deal of the success of the organisation is due to his great devotion to duty.
Recommended for decoration.
