0 potential matching records have currently been identified.
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.
Account registrations and access to these developing records are temporarily unavailable. Existing account holders may log in, and everyone can join the newsletter for publication updates.
2 potential matching records have been identified.
These records may contain service-list entries, vessel metadata, source-page references and protected full-size document images. A match does not by itself prove that the vessel participated in Operation Dynamo.
“Potential match” means a candidate returned by one or more indexing rules; it is not necessarily an exact identity match. Depending on the source, matching may use a normalised vessel name, a partial text or OCR hit, an alias, or related metadata. Roman-numeral suffixes such as I, II, III, IV and V may be absent, misread or separated from the base name, so records for similarly named vessels can be grouped incorrectly. Multi-word names can also produce candidates where only one significant word matches. Confirm the full name, numeral, vessel type, dimensions, builder, ownership, dates and source context before treating two records as the same vessel.

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 The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

SECOND DESPATCH f
(Covering the period from ist February, 1940, to 3ist May, 1940, with an Appendix
covering operations of ist Corps from 6 p.m. 3ist May, to midnight 2nd/3rd June).
| i. The narrative portions of this despatch have been compiled from the war diaries and other
records of the General Staff at G.H.Q. These have been supplemented by war diaries, including
those of the Swayne Mission, and by diaries, notes and records made by various commanders
and staff officers at the time, or within a few days of their arrival in England. The records of the
General Staff at G.H.Q. are only partially complete for the period loth—i8th May, owing to some
papers having been destroyed at Boulogne, and a portion of the records for 3ist May lost at sea.
Some records of less importance were burnt at Hazebrouck to avoid possible capture and others
were destroyed in a lorry which caught fire near Cassel on or about 24th May.
2. The Appendix contains an account of the operations at Dunkirk from 6 p.m., 3ist May, to
midnight 2nd/3rd June, which may conveniently be appended to this despatch, though they were
not carried out under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. It has been compiled by the General
Staff at G.H.Q., from sources similar to those used for the despatch itself.

Notes :
(1) It will be observed that the number of patrols decreased from 27th May onwards, whilst there was an
increase in the daily flying hours. This is due to the fact that the fighters were employed in increasingly bigger
patrols as the enemy air opposition increased.
(2) Operation " Dynamo " suffered most from enemy air effort on 2Qth May and on ist June, after which
latter date the combination of enemy air attack and shore artillery fire led to the suspension of the operation
by day.

"WAKEFUL" the recommendation is for one posthumous Mention, and is in addition to those previously forwarded; in all other cases no recommendations had been sent in previously as the requisite information was not available when the original lists were sent in. I am very anxious that the names mentioned should receive the awards recommended in order that the services of all the ships that took part in the operations should be properly and fairly recognised. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, (Signed) B. H. RAMSAY. VICE ADMIRAL. The Secretary of the Admiralty, Whitehall, LONDON, S.W.1.

II ALTRINS: 06 No. B23/1598/40. SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. (copy to Commander-in-Chief, Western Approaches.) Forwarded for the consideration of Their Lordships. 2. Recommendations of Demolition Parties were dealt with direct between the Officers in charge of the Parties and Admiralty. I was under the impression that the awards to the Calais Party had already been considered and decided upon. 3. The remaining officers and men (with the exception of Commissioned Gunner (T) Dennis) were recommended for their services in Operation "Dynamo" - Surgeon Lieutenant Shutte and Able Seaman Johnson were included in List "A" and the remainder in List "B". 4. H.M.S. "Windsor" did very good service, transporting about 4,500 Troops from France and suffering slight damage and about 30 casualties as a result of air attacks. There were not many outstanding cases of gallant conduct and the list submitted by the Commanding Officer contains more than the average number of names, but it is evident that the Ship's Company as a whole displayed exemplary conduct and devotion to duty. 5. In the London Gazette of 16th August, 1940, the Captain and Surgeon Lieutenant Shutte, R.N.V.R. were mentioned in Despatches, and Able Seaman Johnson was awarded a Bar to his D.S.M. Under the circumstances I submit for the consideration of Their Lordships that recognition of the general good service of the ship be acknowledged by the award of one or more decorations and mentions to men in the forthcoming half-yearly list, list. selection being made from those given in the accompanying 36018 1940 Dover, 13th November, 1940.

The men mentioned in (b) were shown in the Gazette as belonging to H.M. Transport "MONA'S QUEEN" and there has been a somewhat unfortunate repercussion in that it was apparently assumed by the late Master of the ship that the Radio Officer was the recipient of the mention. I attach a letter received from the Radio Officer and of my reply. 3. I experienced great difficulty in obtaining any reports or recommendations from Personnel Vessels generally and, with particular reference to the "MONA'S QUEEN", I attach correspondence with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co., Ltd., in which I asked that the Master might furnish me with information, but which request was refused by the Directors of the Company. 4. If Their Lordships should wish to make further inquiries I should be glad to consider any recommendations with reference to the excellent services which were undoubtedly performed by that ship, and to submit names for consideration.

Asciggan Dear Sir, HMT Sup 5/27/8/46 R Monals 525 I beg to enquire if I could crave a few moments of your valuable time in the following matter. A few days ago, the Captain of this vessel, (Capt R. Duggan) formed me that on information he had received, he wished to congratulate le on having been awarded the DSC with regard to my good services on the Belgian and French coasts, and that he himself had been awarded the DSC. Yesterday, Capt Duggan received official congrat lations and at the same time came to the opinion that some mistake had been made as recommendation. regards myself, and that no official notice had been taken of his This has placed me in a very unenviable position, particular] so as I was congratulated in front of the ships company, and I wonder if it would be asking too much if you could kindly give me a note to the effect that no award has been made, this at least would definitely clear the matter up. It appears that the mistake may have arisen out of the annoucement of Mention in Dispatches of C.P.O. Telegraphists Amos and Boyce, of the H.M. Transport Monas Queen, this is a complete error, these two men did not at any time serve on the Monas Queen. I myself served on that ship from the commencement of the war until a few hours before she was sunk at Dunkirk. There were no R.N. ratings on board, and as far as in duties permitted (Radio Officer) I did the necessary signalling by Aldis my such ports, Boulogne Dunkirk, etc. will honour me with a reply, Trusting this wont seem too rediculous to you,and that you I remain, Yours faithfully, M.A.Am-bler.

Transport "Ben My Chree", c/o G.P.O., London. Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of 1st September, I can only regret that you were misinformed, since no award was made to you in connection with your services on the Belgian and French Coasts. You are quite correct in saying that a mistake was made in announcing that C.P.O. Telegraphists Amos and Bloyce served in the "Mona's Queen"; they were employed on shore at Calais and Boulogne. I have asked that a correction may be promulgated. Yours faithfully, VICE ADMIRAL.
Page 2. Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel. H.M.S. CODRINGTON. - Captain George Frederick Stevens-Guille.D.S.O. O.B.E., R.N. (Decorated for this operation in London Gazette 7/6/40). During the period 28th May - 3rd June CODRINGTON made 7 trips to Dunkirk, 5 being to the beaches, and brought home a total of about 6175 troops. Although several times attacked by aircraft and on several occasions under gun fire from shore batteries, CODRINGTON was not hit and suffered no damage. Recommendations. OFFICERS: Lieutenant Arthur Alan Whitshed Pollard, R.N. In charge of CODRINGTON's beach parties on each occasion of embarking troops from La Panne and Bray. Performed this duty, often under fire and in trying and difficult circumstances, with great skill, setting an excellent example to his men. Recommended for decoration. Lieutenant-Commander Peter Charles Oswald Moseley, R.N. Carried out his duties as Navigating Officer with conspicuous skill and ability under conditions of exceptional difficulty. Recommended for mention. Lieutenant-Commander Hugh Charles Bainbridge Coleridge, D.S.O., R.N. As executive officer of the ship organised and led the ship's company throughout the period. He showed an excellent example of continuous cheerful leadership. Recommended for mention. Mr. Bernard Evelyn Chitty. Commissioned Gunner (T), R.N. Displayed excellent seamanship and leadership in charge of boats evacuating troops from La Panne and Bray beaches often under fire. This was often carried out under adverse weather conditions calling for skill and endurance. Recommended for decoration. RATINGS: The Beach parties and boats' crews performed arduous services under fire and under trying physical conditions. The efficiency of the A/A guns' crews prevented the ship being damaged in the numerous air attacks. The conduct of the whole ship's company was excellent throughout, and the good spirit with which all concerned accepted the filling of all the living spaces with troops, with consequent litter, not to say dirt, was cemarkable. Everyone did his best at all
Page 22. Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel. H.M.S. MALCOLM. - Captain Thomas Edgar Halsey, R.N. (Decorated for this operation London Gazette 7th June, 1940) MALCOLM made 8 trips during the period 28th May - 4th June, one being to the beaches, the remainder to Dunkirk pier, and brought home a total of about 6,400 troops. MALCOLM was considerably shaken by near misses of bombs and to have kept going to and from Dunkirk daily, except for one night and a day when ordered by Vice Admiral Dover to take a much needed rest, reflects the greatest credit on all officers and men. Recommendations. OFFICERS: Lieutenant Jan Nagle Douglas Cox, R.N. (1st Lieutenant). Displayed great efficiency in organising the ship for the embarkation and stowage of troops. Although he had so recently joined the ship he obtained the confidence and co-operation of the ship's company. Boarded S.S. CLAN MACALISTER and displayed gallantry in extinguishing the fire on board which, at the time, it seemed must explode her ammunition storage. He also rallied CLAN MACALISTER's crew. Recommended for decoration, Lieutenant David Barclay Nairne Mellis, R.N. Showed great ability in navigating between Dunkirk and Dover; on two occasions took the ship alongside at Dunkirk when Captain (D) mistrusted his own judgment and eyesight in the dark owing to fatigue, Also boarded S.S. CLAN MACALISTER and assisted to extinguish the fire. Appeared oblivious of any personal danger and positively seemed to enjoy estimating where bombs would hit, wholeheartedly watching them fall. Recommended for decoration. Lieutenant Ronald John Robertson, R.A.N. Admirable organisation and control of signal department. Rendered great assistance to his Commanding Officer, conducting himself with great coolness on the bridge when under fire. Recommended for mention. Mr. Arthur George Scoggins, Warrant Engineer. Ran his department with great ability in conditions of great difficulty and some peril. The ship had been much shaken by previous bombing as well as that at Dunkirk, causing leaky steam joints, failure of evaporating plant, etc. so that the average and temperature of the Engine Room was between 140 manoeuvring, though this temperature enormously 150°. In spite of this, no mistakes were made when increased the fatigue of the Engine Room personnel. of After previously warning one of the shortage last distilled possible moment (rescue feed-tank and 2 boilers run water, kept the ship running till down). Recommended for decoration.
Page 24 Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel. M.S. SABRE - Commander Brian Dean, R.N. (decorated D.S.O. for this operation London Gazette 7th June, 1940). During the period 27th May - 4th June, this old Destroyer made 10 trips to the beaches, the record number of trips for any class of vessel taking part in the operation, and brought back a total of 5,000 troops. On emerging from Dunkirk harbour, 29th May, SABRE found some men struggling in the water. Having no boats - they had left with the First Lieutenant working with other vessels off the beach - the ship was manoeuvred alongside each man in turn. Throughout that operation she was repeatedly attacked by dive bombers, but sustained no damage. Later in the day she was severely shaken by near misses. 30th May, she came under fire from shore batteries, receiving several hits on the bridge and superstructure. Her Gyro compass was put out of action, and Owing to the D/G cable being damaged, her magnetic compass was rendered practically useless. Although the D/G cable was repaired, her compass was unreliable the rest of the operation. By P.M. 30th, all hands were utterly exhausted, but a night's rest and a day in harbour, while repairs were effected, "gave them a new lease of life." The Commanding Officer, in his narrative, points out that SABRE'S engines are 22 years old, and were submerged and full of salt water for 48 hours after a collision in October 1939. To avoid bombs and shell fire, it was necessary to make most exacting demands on the engines. In every case the response was immediate, all that could be desired, and far greater than could reasonably be expected. Recommendations. OFFICERS. Lieutenant Norman John Parker, R.N. Thoroughly reliable in all emergencies. Also did well in charge of boats, embarking the maximum number of troops in the minimum time. Was always one of the first to sight aircraft and was quick to get the guns on to them, and so to keep the aircraft at a respectful distance. Recommended for mention. Midshipman Edward Folmer Archdale. R.N. Was of great assistance in identifying aircraft, and in keeping a record of the ship's movements often when under fire, when he was invariably cool and unruffled. Recommended for mention. Commissioned Engineer Reginald Thomas Jones. action and maintaining high efficiency of his engines. For resource, leadership and devotion to duty in Recommended for decoration. RATINGS/

Mr. Wild mentions that he understands that this officer was later very seriously wounded by a bomb. 2. The Pro-Consul further states that Commander H. Henderson R.N., Naval Liaison Officer attached to Amiral Nord, was also invaluable in supplying Destroyers and other craft at the Pro- Consul's request for transport at Boulogne, Calais, Ostend and Dunkirk. At one point Mr. Wild had heard that some fifteen hundred British subjects were stranded in Ostend. He informed Commander Henderson of this, and a vessel was made available at Ostend by dawn on the following day. 3.

126 CONFIDENTIAL. 130 To: The Admiralty. via: V.A. Dover. H.M.S. "SALANDER". Copies to: F.O., London. 5th June, 1940. M.S.4. Sir, I have the honour to submit the following narrative of events which took place on Friday, 31st May, and Saturday, 1st June, 1940. At 1800/31/5 I left Dover in company with HALCYON and SKIPJACK to rendezvous with the remainder of the minesweepers at YY buay by 2200 in accordance with V.A. Dover's 0357/31/5. Here I took FITZROY under my command and followed astern of the other two groups through Dunkirk Roads, past Dunicirie, to a position off Bray, I was then ordered by NIGER to anchor one mile to his Eastward, to avoid magnetic mines laid near No.8 Buoy. This was accomplished by 0015/1/6. The beach at Bray was under shrapnel fire from inland energy batteries, and as no boats closed no I lowered a shaler with a Volunteer crew to land for soldiers (See appendix No.1). The boat returned in about half an hour with one hand and a message from General Nontgomery to inform all ships that he intended moving Weatward to Dunkirk at once as the beach was becoming untenable. This message I passed to all ships in V/S to ch. The pontoon pier had been hit by shell fire and no troops seemed to be embarking at all, so I weighed and kept under way closing the beach as much as I could. When a little light appeared, however, boats began to above off from the beach and dame to no. RA Dover now ordered all ships to embark men in boats and move Westwards to Dunkirk at dawn. A continual stream of boats came off with military personnel, and by 0600/1/6 I had embarked about 450 men, including 29 wounded of whom 11 were stretcher cases, Attacks by aircraft took place on all ships and salvoes of bombs were dropped, no ships being hit. We were then attacked by front machine gun fire from Messerschmitt 109's, and one casualty was sustained. L.S.A. Gullett was hit in the hand by a bullet. I then noved Westeard astern of KNITH and SKIPJACK. At 0820/1/6 an air attack took place on all three ships, and SKIPJACK was sunk, and KSITH hit and set on fire. KSITH abandoned ship, and I closed her and sent away both whalers as lifeboats. (See appendix No.2). Whilst resouing survivors I was again attacked by Junkers 87 dive bombers, and a salvo of four bombs fall about 50 feet ahead of the ship. They exploded under water when two bomba were approximately abreast the bridge. The ship lifted bodily and heeled to starboard, and then settled down with a list to part. She then sank about a foot, suddenly. I feared she was in danger of sinking, so I ordered the S.P's on board to be jettisoned. This was done in a weighted bag. (See appendix No.3) I stopped engines and waited reports from the Singineer Officer and Recutive Officer. The Engineer Officer and First Lieutenant ascertained that the forward, was and had flooded compartments amidahips In comprising about the cold and ship still seaworthy, although she had gained about 1 foot of draught hour rooms, steam WILLS gunners got on main engines again. (See Engineer Officer's 0001 stores and canteen store. attached a quarter of an report).
163 SCIMITAR REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS 168 PAGE 2 * The reasons for this collision and as report on the damage sustained have been more fully reported to Capatin (D) 16. 8. I arrived at Dunkirk at about 1300/31 and was ordered to go to Bray beaches. I spent this afternoon and evening in company with "Vivacious" and "Shikari" off Bray under inter- mittent bombardment and bombing during which no damage was sustained. During one bombing attack at sbout 1700(?) an aircraft was shot down; it is thought that this was from "Scimitar's" A gun. I myself was watching A gun bursts, which appeared close to the target and at the moment the aircraft caught fire a burst from A gun appeared nearly in line. The aircraft fell in the sea and was obviously a total loss. During this period no troops were embarked as I had no boats and no other boats come near. There seemed to be trouble in embarking due to choppy water. 9. At nightfall/31 the weather improved and troops were very quickly embarked, principally from the "skoot" "Hilda" which was doing excellent work. I sailed at about 2300 with 500 troops, proceeding at 8 knots. During the passage numerous aircraft were heard but no attacks were made. A slight collision occurred with an unknown trawler, in which my port propellor guard was damaged. I arrived at Dover at about 0600/1 and after disembarking troops proceeded to oil. A further examination of the damage was made. 100 At 1000/1 I was ready and was orderedato proceer to Dunkirk again, but when near the North Goodwin L.V. I was ordered to return. At this time I had just sighted Prague in difficulties 80 I went to his assistance. Re asked me to take some of his troops 80 I went alongside while under way and embarked 500. I then stood by while he proceede through the Downs and at about 1530/1 I arrived at Dover and disembarked troops subsequently proceeding to a buoy. 11. At 0600/2 I proceeded to Sheerneas to disembark ammunition, thence to London for repairs by Messrs Harland and Wolff. Repairs are expected to take 14 days. 12. "Soimitar" being short handed compared to other destroyers, all ratings had to work very hard and it was noteworthy that Engine room ratings not only steamed the ship with full also assisted on deak in embarkation etc. Nearly all seamen took efficiency and took their place at ammunition supply parties, but part as boat's crews at one time or another, using skill and determintion inxtrying conditions.

CONFIDENTIAL 9/ 95 ORANJE'S R.O.D./1 dated 10th June 1940 (cont) this vessel opened fire on ORANJE with rifles, 12 rounds being fired, 2being heard to hit the ship's side and ricochet off. ORANJE, being completely unarmed began to Zig-Zag, keeping as near as possible end on to the rising moom. When this ship was well clear, a full examination of the surrounding water was made through binoculars: 8 torpedo boat was observed lying stopped sbout 2 cables to starboard, with 2 others approaching about half a mile on the cort quarter. It was not possible at the time to identify these to definitely, (they have since been identified from the Illustrated London NewsX as German) but they were not British, and were assumed to be hostile when the one starboard side crossed ORANJE'S bows laying a smoke screen, and took station astern of the other two. No attack was made, nor were the boats seen again. These incidents were reported the following day at Ramsgate. 5. At 0400 when in company with two other scoots and one merchant ship in the vicibity of Mittelkirke Bank buoy, the troopship QUEEN OF THE CHANNEL was observed approaching on opposite courses. When about è of a mile away she was attacked by a Heinkel dive-bomber which dropped 4 bomos, (estimated 100 lbs.) roun her stern. She was observed to stop and settle by the stern, so ORANJE proceeded alongside to see if any immediate assistance could be given. Then just comin alongside, they shouted from the bridge to keep off as the bomber was diving again. One large bomb (estimated 500 lbs.) was dropped about 50 yards on ORANJE'S starboard bow as she was leaving the QUEEN OF THE CHANNEL, and 8 small amount of damage was don inside the ship due to shock. The attack was accompanied by a small amount of machine-gun fire. As the larger merchant ship then went alongside, ORANJE proceeded on her way to Dunkirk. Two destroyers full of troops were met in the Zuydecoot Pass. This, and the previous meeting with the Queen of the Channel was the first intimation of the evacuation of troops, end even then 1 was not to confirm it. 6. It was anticipated that on the Eastern 1 end of Dunkirk Channel, ORANJE would be met or given instruc- tion re berthing.

Finding it almost impossible to force an entrance, the trawler drow off and reported to Vice-Admiral, Dover. On receiving the order: "Procced to Calais immodiately," It was decided to approach the entrance to the Port from the North. Under a hoavy barrage of high explosive and shraphol fire, the skipper of the travler succeeded in entering the port and taking up position alongside the Quai Maritime Southern ond. As there WELS no labour or assistance to be obtained from the quay, the crew of the trawler started to discharge the cargo of ammunition. This entailed hauling the boxes of amamition by hand from the deck of the trawler to the top of the quay - & distance of somo 22-ft. and dragging them across the quay to a place of safety - the whole proceeding under a devastating fire from the enemy. There was no protection of any sort, and none of the crow was equipped with steel holmets. The discharge continued orderly and efficiently until ordered to stop by Commodore Gandell, R.N., who decided that, as all the .305 ammunition had boon discharged, the danger was too great, and he ordered the trawler to sea. Again, the tra wler came under a heavy direct fire from the enemy, but, with great skill, and zigzagging, the skipper succeeded in bringing his ship safely out of danger. Forts. S. I cannot too highly commend Skipper W.H. Pollock, who, in addition to his duty with rogard to his cargo, gave no every possible assistance, onabling no to report to Commodore Gandell, R.N. He also enabled no, on the way home, to deliver a plan of Calais to H.M.S. "GREYHOUND", patrolling off the port. This plan showed the approximate positions of the enemy and his batterios, which were imediately shelled by the "GREYHOUND" to relieve the pressure on our defenses. (signed) Dush.

The Director of Sea Transport. Sir, I have the honour to bring to your notice Lieutenant C.V. Brammell R.N.R. of H.M.S. "GULZAR". 2. On the evening of. 26/27th May, 1940, I was informed by Vice Admiral, Dover, that H.M.S. "GULZAR" was placed at my disposal to go to Calais to take water and stretchers, and to bring back wounded. 3. Lieutenant Brammell brought his ship into Calais, it being a very dark night, turned round, and secured with slip lines alongside the steps of the Gare Maritime. All this was done without noise, which enabled the officers landing to get ashore unnoticed. On entering the channel, the complete absence of any firing raised suspicions that the enemy might already have taken the town, suspicions which were confirmed when the landing party got ashore and had to return hurriedly to the yacht. 4. Lieutenant Brammell slipped his lines very quickly and got away just in time, as a heavy fire from rifles and machine guns was opened on the yacht from the neighbourhood of the steps as she proceeded down the entrance. 5. It was due to the quiet discipline in his ship that the landing party got ashore unnoticed, and due to his seamanship and smartness that we got quickly away; any delay might have entailed severe casualties. /6.

At 0445 anchow was weighed and the tug proceeded to Ramsgate arriving at 1115, where she was armed with two pairs of Lewis guns mounted either side of the wheel house. 4. The tugs were sailed for Dunkirk at 1330. Commander Tyler came onboard as his tug had run out of coal and water. Lieutenant Wilkinson and a further party of seamen were also embarked. 5. At 1915 a high level bombing attack took place, but bombs all fell a long way from the tug. 6. A boat was capsized when the tug met a destroyer's wake and it is regretted that one Stoker was drowned. This casualty was reported on arrival in harbour by Commander Tyler. of Dunkirk 7. by verbal orders from a motor mile torpedo from boat. the shore By 2300 and At 2230 the tug was ordered to a position one mile east the boats dropped the and R.N.R., French tug one 8. were and was bomb in about At sent British, charge. anchored 0315/1 from 100 in an yards with June, the From three aircraft, Lieutenant from tug 2300 1940, quarters weighed the which to having tug. but 0300 Wilkinson of anchor. was the embarked a there engaged remainder was and Only 88 by periodic Lieutenant soldiers three Lewis of the boats shelling guns, boats" both Fletcher, Ramsgate. had was been able to get back onboard to our or were tug, towed back by drifters to with water; crews were either adrift as it was filling rapidly and was while At 0445 this one was boat being was done set a German fighter flew towards us engaged with Lewis guns. 9. 0830/1 June, 1940, arrived at Ramsgate.

I left at about 0315 having secured the boats, and having then some 175 English and French troops on board, besides 28 naval officers and ratings and the tug's crew. The Tug was very full. (a) The return passage was uneventful; I posted an English soldier with a Bren gun, as anti-aircraft armament, the tug having no protection otherwise. One pulling boat was swamped on the return passage. (b) I understand that some orders were issued for this operation, but these did not reach me before sailing. Fortunately the tugs un- der my orders went to the right place in the event. On arrival at Ramsgate about 0815 (2nd. June), the troops were dis- embarked, and I went ashore for further orders. Finding that no decision had yet been made, I made contact with various officers who had been working on the beaches on the night of 1st./2nd. June, and prepared a short appreciation which I was about to telephone to Captain DENNY at Dover, when orders were received thatbeach parties were not required that Sunday night. This tallied with the informat- ion that I had been able to glean, so I decided not to telephone to Captain DENNY. The following is a summary of the information gleaned from various officers named as to events on the nights of 1st./2nd. June. (a) Lieut. Commander Miller. DSOJ R.N.ARA Had been working on the beaches about 1 mile East of Dunkirk, just to the Westward of a wrecked French destroyer. Left at about 1900 on Saturday 1st. June. At this time, the 2nd. line of defence was about 1 mile further to the East of this position and the 1st. line of defence 1 mile still further to the East i.e. about 3 miles East of Dunkirk. Troops would not come off from this position at this time. (b) Lieut. Commander Sherwood. R.N.IRJ In tug TANGA. Left at about 0245 (2nd. June), at this time sniping was going on on the Eastern mole, and also on the beaches to the Eastward of the barges by the wrecked French destroyer 1 mile East of Dunkirk.

On the 3rd of June he was under the orders of Lieut. Commander MILLER D.S.JO. R.N.R. (c) The spirit of the masters and crews of the other tugs (especially the SUN tugs) was excellent. The owner of the Alexander Tug Company was himself the captain of the tug SUN IV, and a young Trinity House pilot volunteered to navigate this tug throughout.

Sir, of proceedings of H.M.MT.B. under my command during the period I have the honour to submit the following report 27th May - 29th May, 1940. M.T.B. 16 left Felixstowe for Dover at 1460, 27th although the boat was travelling at low speed. Both torpedo May. Heavy head seas were encountered, causing violent pounding rails sustained damage, and both after bellyjacks parted. There was some further minor damage. M.T.B. 16 arrived at Dover at 1950.

Dover, to proceed to Dunkirk and to place myself under the orders At 0635, 28th May, I was ordered by the Vice-Atatral, of the Senior Naval Officer there. M.T.B. 18 left Dover at 0840. M.T.B. 68 left shortly afterwards and formed astern. When about two miles off Les Nemes De March the M.T.B's were fired on by guns of 3" - 4" calibre siguated between Gravelines and Calais. The M.T.B's impetiately seattered at made out to sea. Firing was accurate and M.T.B. 16 Yes stradiled. No damage was sustained. The two M.T.B's reached Dunkirk at 0830. I took M.T.B. 68 under my orders and reported to the Senior Naval Officer. Destroyers were embarking British troops at the East Pier. A large part of Dunkirk was burning, including the oil tanks, The town was being bombed, and there was also sporadic shelling. It appeared that the enemy was endeavouring to avoid damaging the port. At 1130 the Senior Naval Officer ordered as to send an M.T.B. to Dover with a hand message. I sent M.T.B. 68. I then embarked Commander Maund, Royal Mavy, and proceeded close to Bray Dines, where there was a Large body of troops awaiting evacua- -tion. Having acquired the information required by Commader Maund, I returned to Dunkirk, where I found two small vessels of the Schuyt type. Having given then orders from the Senior Naval Officer, I returned to Bray Dunes. BRAV DUNGS 1600/28 Several destroyers were now anchored off the beach, and whalers were embarking troops and taking them to the ships. The two Schuyts were aground close inshore. The troops appeared in a demoralized state. They were hampering the work of the whalers, and some were attempting to swim off to the Schuyts, I proceeded close inshore, anonored in one fathes, and succeeded in embarking many troops.

Gould, R.N. The work done by Able Seaman Schofield in swimming voluntarily several hundred yards to save the lives of exhausted men is particularly pleasing and the successful anti-aircraft fire put up by Able Seaman Clark and Telegraphist McCatcheon is very encouraging. It also brings out the value of using a proportion of incendiary bullets.

The Director of Sea Transport. Sir, C.V. Brammell, R.N.R. of H.M.S. "GULZAR". I have the honour to bring to your notice Lieutenant 2. On the evening of 26/27th May, 1940, I was informed by Vice Admiral, Dover, that H.M.S. "GULZAR" was placed at my disposal to go to Calais to take water and stretchers, and to bring back wounded. 3. Lieutenant Brammell brought his ship into Calais, it being a very dark night, turned round, and secured with slip lines alongside the steps of the Gare Maritime. All this was done without noise, which enabled the officers landing to get ashore unnoticed. On entering the channel, the complete absence of any firing raised suspicions that the enemy might already have taken the town, suspicions which were confirmed when the landing party got ashore and had to return hurriedly to the yacht. 4. Lieutenant Brammell slipped his lines very quickly and got away just in time, as a heavy fire from rifles and machine guns was opened on the yacht from the neighbourhood of the steps as she proceeded down the entrance. 5. It was due to the quiet discipline in his ship that the landing party got ashore unnoticed, and due to his seamanship and smartness that we got quickly away; any delay might have entailed severe casualties. /6. be were dropped, but they were Commanding Officer, HMS.

COPY. HOME OFFICE, 9 WHITEHALL. URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL. 20th January, 1940. S 929 dam he 1940 Dear Cadogen, I had a conference this morning with representatives of the Admiralty, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Food on the question of what provisional arrangements can be made for a to situation which would arise If large numbers of en Dutch and Belgian refugees came to this country 3 owing to the invasion of Holland and Belgium. The view of the Admiralty is that their representatives in Antwerp, Amsterdam and Rotterdam ought to have instructions which would enable them to tell the captains of Dutch and Belgian ships where they must go if they are bringing refugees to the United Kingdom. Moreover, It appears from the discussion with the Admiralty that there are insupurable difficulties about bringing these ships into London or ports on the South and Best coast. We urged upon the Admiralty being nad for their safety and health during a 3 to 4 days winter voyage. This estimate is offered with the greatest reserve, and should be subject to improvement in the light of fuller information. 4./
of 10 or representatives that in such an emergency 10 would be most desirable to bring the refugees to the nearest port, and that from our point of view there would be S many advantages in bringing a large proportion of them dam to London; but the dmiralty pointed out the objections he to this course, and after prolonged discussion we all felt bound to accept the Admiralty view, which is this: that about 100 small ships should be sent to Poole but that all the larger shipe ought to be sent round the West Best cosst to Belfast Looh and to the Clyde. The to journey to Belfast Looh or the Clyde will take about en three days. It is therefore essential that the ships carrying m which are to make such a journey crowded with refugees (a) shall be properly equipped with food and water, and (b) shall know that they have to make this journey y and shall limit the number of passengers accordingly. Captains who might take 8. large number of passengers on board if they were only about to make a short journey would have to limit the numbers very severely in many cases if they knew they had to make a two or three days journey. The problem then is:is there any means of telling being naa for their safety and health during a 3 to 4 days winter voyage. This estimate is offered with the greatest reserve, and should be subject to improvement in the light of fuller information. 4./
112 CONFIDENTIAL 110 Office of The Flag DOVER. Officer Commanding, No. A.14/0/876/40. 18th June, 1940. Sir, Be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report on Operation "DYNAMO", namely the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk and neighbouring beaches between 26th May and 4th June, 1940. The report takes the form of this covering letter, together with detailed narrative and appendices. 2. THE POLICY AND THE PROGRESS OF THE EVACUATION. During the course of the operation 316,663 troops reached safety in England after being evacuated from Dunkirk, and from the beach stretching 10 miles eastward from the entrance to Dunkirk Harbour. To those on the French coast, when in the early stages anything up to 50,000 troops were waiting to embark on a 10 mile sea front, the presence of perhaps 20 small warships offshore, and 200 small boats spread along the length of coast at any given moment, must have appeared as a feeble effort to tackle this great task. Furthermore, it was impossible to adjust the arrival of ships, either at Dunkirk or opposite the beaches, to synchronise with the ebb and flow of the troop concentrations. Broadly speaking, for the first 5 days of the move- ment, had more beaching craft been available to ferry from the beach to offshore vessels, it would have been possible to have evacuated a greater number. For the last 3 to 4 days, however, when the main bulk of the B.E.F. had already been evacuated, the rate of lifting was governed by the availability of the troops during the limited hours evacuation was possible. 3. Throughout the operation one of the greatest difficulties was the ever changing situation presented. Within 24 hours of the start, the operation took the shape of a forlorn hope to rescue the maximum number, say up to 45,000 before the whole force was to be overwhelmed by the enemy. Next, the military situation became more stable, and it appeared that some three to four days would be available to complete evacuation of the B.E.F., estimated at some 175,000. During this stage evacuation by British resources of French troops was introduced, some 25,000 being mentioned. decision to lift the rearguard of the B.E.F. off the beaches During the course of the fifth day (30/5) a tentative at a definite time, viz. 0130/1, was reached. 24 hours later this plan was altered by military considerations, involving an Naval definitely committed to provide for the extension of the period of evacuation. At the same time, the 50,000. evacuation or French forces, then mentioned as about 40,000/ Later, the French number rose and 150,000 or more was quoted. Finally no agreement could be reached with the French Secretary as/ London,,Salty, 1.

It was reported that a Transport was lying on its side between Dunkirk and Gravelines and also a barge east of the Goodwins with survivors on board. C. in C. Nore, despatched 2 M.T.B.'s to find the Transport with no avail. On the 5th the R.A.F. speedboat $ did a sweep south of a line Goodwin/Boulogne and recovered 33 French troops and two naval ratings. In addition French troops were picked up by patrols and brought in to Dover, Margate and Ramsgate. Troops also arrived in French and Belgian Trawlers totalling in all some additional 1,100. Air reconnaissance was also carried out on the morning of the 5th but nothing was reported. REMARKS ON THE INSHORE FLOTILLAS and NAVAL SHORE PARTIES. 98. About 400 small craft, ranging from Dutch skoots to 30 ft. Motor boats, set out at various times to the Flanders Coast. In addition scores of pulling boats, merchant ship life-boats, Naval cutters and whalers, were sent off in tow. Only a proportion - particularly of the pulling boats - succeeded in reaching the coast and taking active part in the evacuation. Fewer still were able to remain off the coast for more than one period. Nevertheless, these small craft, in conjunction with the pulling and power boats of H. M. ships off the coast, were responsible for lifting more than 100, Allied troops direct off a stretch of open beach in shoal waters between 1600/27/5 and 0400/2/6. Further, a large number of the power boats operated within Dunkirk harbour on the last three nights, working principally in the inner harbour, which was continually under artillery fire, ferrying a further large uncounted number out to the comparative safety of ships lying off. 99. Throughout the period all these craft of the inshore flotillas were subjected at one time or another to intense attack from the air, both by bombing and machine gun, and a large proportion also to sporadic bombardment by German artillery. Under this fire no case occurred of boats ceasing work as long as troops were in sight on shore, and movements of boats westward away from the fire zone only occurred as dictated by the military situation ashore. 100. The initial despatch of requisitioned and volunteer small craft was controlled from - 1 Naval Control Service, London, Westminster Pier, Ramsgate, Gravesend, Dover, Southend, Newhaven, Sheerness, Portsmouth, preliminary/
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/

By the night of the 30th/31st a considerable number of collapsible boats and pontoons had been received from the Royal Engineers of the B.E.F. These were of great assistance and paddled off about 10 men in each trip, but again, in spite of all efforts, in the vast majority of cases, the soldiers left these craft when they arrived at the offshore ship. 107. Much of the most meritorious work of lifting off the beaches was done by the offshore warships' own boats, who were tireless in their efforts. All small pulling boats and small power boats were lowered and were lent from ship to ship when their own parent ship left the coast to unload at a United Kingdom port. In addition, H.M. ships seized drifting and abandoned boats as opportunity offered and manned them up with boat keepers. Owing to the physical exhaustion of these boats' crews after hours of work, relief crews of stokers were frequently provided from amongst the many volunteers that came forth. 108. A typical example of dogged work by a ship's boat was afforded by the action of JAVELIN's and JAGUAR's boats off Bray beach in the afternoon of 28/5. When their two motor cutters and two whalers first grounded offshore they were rushed and swamped by soldiers. Order being restored the boats had to be baled out and the wet engines restarted, following which) 700 troops were embarked by these few boats in a short time during continuous bombing attacks. 109. Of the power boats available by far the most useful and suitable were the A.L.Cs., M.L.Cs. and the small type of R.N.L.I. life-boat. The high speed service motor boats such as DOLPHIN's and EXCELLENT's boats and the R.A.F. Seaplane tenders proved unsuitable for work in shallow waters on a lee shore owing to the vulnerability of their propellers and rudders and their poor manoeuvring powers at low speeds. 110. Of the civilian manned craft one of the best performances was that of the London Fire Brigade fire float MASSEY SHAW. All the volunteer crew were members of the London Fire Brigade or Auxiliary Fire Service and succeeded in doing 4 round trips to the beaches in their well-found craft. In contrast to this performance and that also of the R.N.L.I. crews of the Ramsgate and Margate life-boats, who took their boats over to Dunkirk, no volunteers, except for the coxswain and engineer of the Dover life-boat, were forthcoming from the R.N.L.I. crews of the other life-boats, which were accordingly manned by R.N. crews. Also it must be noted that civilian craft of such flotillas as the Rye fishing fleet did not relish the idea of carrying out ferry- ing work off the Flanders coast. Fishing boats and pleasure boats from as far along the south coast as Brixham and Dartmouth arrived at various times up to p.m. 30/5, but again the civilian crews were not prepared to proceed to Dunkirk. Accordingly, the most suitable of such boats as could be manned by the Naval personnel available were taken up, but the remainder took no part in the operations. 111./

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.

If any large numbers were to come off from Dunkirk itself it WCG covential to be able to use the East Pier. This already had one gap in it made by the "KING ORRY", but the gap had been bridged. I feared that the Germans would now shell this pier heavily and perhaps damage it or at any rate make it impossible to keep ships alongside. I accordingly asked if the P.A.F. could reconnoitre and report what the state of the pier was and whother It was being sholled. This was arranged and had an amusing seque]. as will be told later. Before I returned to Dunkirk a report came back from the air reconnaissance giving an accurate description of the gap in the pior which we alroady know about, but not a word as to whether 3.t was being shelled. It was arranged that I should go over in N.A.S.B.10, one of the Motor Anti-Submarino Boats. These are large fast motor hosts, enthor like M.T.B.to, with a speed of 25 knots and armed with two twin mochine guns and depth charges. A portable Loud-spockor act was to be fitted in her. as I had found cirilar X set very useful in "HEBE" and "EXPRESS."

French soldiers and marines stood about and guarded the entrances to various chembors inside the carthworks. In one of those was the room which was Tonnent's hoadquarters, and there I found him with General Alexander. It opened off a narrow dark passage and was lit by a single lamp - a bare small room about 10 feet by 8 feet. While I was there the lights went out and WD waited in darkness for an air raid to pass.

SECRET COPY 58 Allerton Road, 15 Liverpool, 18. 4th June, 1940. Sir, Original foreunder. I have the honour to submit this report of the loss of H.M.S. "BRIGHTON QUEEN" by enemy action. 2. At 7.30 a.m. B.S.T. 1.6.40, the ship was got under way and proceeded from Margate Roads towards Dunkirk by route "X". At about 9.30 a.m. when in position 4 miles North of Calais No. 5 buoy H.M.S. "BRIGHTON QUEEN" engaged enemy aircraft with 12-pounder and Lewis gun fire, action continuing until arrival at Dunkirk. The fire was accurate, keeping aircraft to a height from which bomb aiming was difficult. In the vicinity of Calais No. 4 buoy three salvoes of 4 bombs were aimed at "BRIGHTON QUEEN", the nearest dropping 100 feet from the starboard quarter. 3. The ship entered the breakwater at Dunkirk at 10.35 a.m. and berthed at the West Lock at 10.45 a.m. 700 French Moroccan troops were embarked and at 11.10 a.m. H.M.S. "BRIGHTON QUEEN" left her berth and proceeded towards Margate. Calais No. 5 buoy was rounded at 11.50 a.m. and the ship proceeded along route "X". 4. At 11.05 a.m. a formation of seven single engined aircraft were seen delivering a dive bombing attack to the Southward, after which they reformed and entered clouds at about 5,000 feet. Their engines were heard approaching and the ship's guns were trained in their direction. As they appeared from the cloud they were engaged with 12-pounder and Lewis gun fire, whilst the helm was put hard to starboard. The formation broke up to attack, by dive bombing, H.M.S. "BRIGHTON QUEEN", and the transport "SEOLIA" which was two cables distant at Red 50°. "SCOTIA" "SCOTIA" The main attack was directed against leaving her on fire and in a sinking condition. One bomb estimated 200 lbs. exploded very close to H.M.S. "BRIGHTON QUEEN" causing severe damage to the starboard side of the ship abaft the paddle box. The one lifeboat remaining from the previous day's operation at La Panne was blown inboard, causing many casualties amongst the troops on the after deck. The ship began to settle by the stem immediately and after two minutes began to heel to port until she had a list of 50°. The ship was laid over at this angle until she filled forward and sank about 5 minutes after the explosion to rest on the bottom on an even keel in about five fathoms of water. In this short time my crew worked quickly and efficiently in getting liferafts and all floating material over the side to troops who were struggling in the sea. The French troops were splendidly steady, and although no orders could be given to them except by signs, they acted cooly and intelligently in making use of the life saving material available. H.M.S. "SALTASH" and several small craft were soon on the scene carrying out the difficult operation of rescuing the survivors with speed and determination, H.M.S. "SALTASH" being laid alongside the wreck until the last man was taken off. All confidential books remain in the ship. They were placed in a weighted sack ready to be jettisoned in the Commanding Officer's cabin, but this cabin was flooded before it could be reached.

TRAWLER "ARGYLLSHIRE" IN OPERATION "DYNAMO". Sir, With reference to A.L. M.L. 6245/40 dated 1st August, 1940, be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report resulting from an enquiry into the loss of H.M.A/S Trawler "Argyllshire" on 1st June, 1940. 2. Sub. Lieut. J.S. Weddle, R.N.R., who was in command of "Argyllshire" was examined on 17th September, 1940. 3. At about 0245 on 1st June "Argyllshire" was about 2 miles E. of "S" Buoy in company with trawlers "Lord Melchett" and "Stella Rigel. Many trawlers and other small craft were in the vicinity. "Argyllshire" commenced an attack on what appeared to be a submarine. At 0250 "Stella Rigel" crossed "Argyllshire's" bows and the latter reduced speed, the target then being about 1800 yards on her starboard beam. Shortly afterwards there was an explosion aft in "Argyllshire" due, it is believed, to a torpedo which struck her on the starboard quarter. The bows 40 stood up at about 45°, all fittings on bridge broke loose and ship went down stern first. Two to three minutes later she was seen with bows to the break of forecastle protruding vertically out of the water. She then sank and disappeared in about 20 fathoms. 4. Asdic gear was intact when ship sank; 5 depth charges set to 200 feet went down with her. 5. Confidential Books and SPs, except two or three in Wireless Cabinet, and one Secret Mine Chart which was on bridge, were in steel chest in Commanding Officer's Cabin and went down with the ship. 6. The imperceptible time during which this ship remained afloat after the explosion precludes the possibility of learning anything as to the behaviour of material generally, but it is 2/10) thought that if this class of vessel were fitted with & water- tight bulkhead between the Boiler and Engine Rooms there is likelihood of their remaining afloat considerably longer in the 4/11 event of the fore or after compartments being flooded. 7.

TRAWLER "WESTELLA" IN OPERATION "DYNAMO ADMIRALTY 22SEP 1940 Sir, With reference to Admiralty Letter L.6245/40 dated 1st August, 1940, be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report resulting from an Enquiry into the loss of H.M.A/S Trawler WESTELLA on 2nd June, 1940. 2. Chief Skipper A. Gove, R.N.R. who was in command of WESTELLA was examined on 13th September, 1940. 3. At about 1600 on 2nd June when patrolling in the vicinity of "I" buoy in company with BLACKBURN ROVERS the latter was blown up by a mine or torpedo, and sank instantly. WESTELLA went full speed ahead towards the position where BLACKBURN ROVERS had sunk. As she neared the position explosions from BLACKBURN ROVERS' depth charges shook and lifted the ship out of the water and put her asdic installation and pumps out of action. 4. Shortly afterwards whilst "WESTELLA" was in about the same position a heavy explosion underneath the ship's port bow opened up the bow and blew in the foremost bulkhead. Cables fell through the bottom and the gun platform on the forecastle deck was bent upwards about 2 feet. She was flooded to the engine room fore bulkhead and took a heavy list to port. About 10 minutes later, Depth Charges having been set to 'Safe', the sinking ship was abandoned survivors being taken onboard GRIMSBY TOWN. 5. As WESTELLA was a danger to navigation GRIMSBY TOWN was ordered by SAON to sink her. Chief Skipper Gove states that he understands that this was done. 6. The ship was probably sunk in about 12/15 fathoms. Except for a few books which were loose, and in use, the Confidential Books and Secret Publications went down with the ship in a weighted perforated bag. 7. Asdic installation was not destroyed before ship was abandoned, but may have been badly damaged by gunfire which sank the ship. 8. It has not been possible to establish definitely what caused the explosion, but all the evidence available points to the probability of it being due to a moored wire. mine D 9. In the circumstances in which this Trawler was lost no useful information was elicited as to the behaviour of material. 10. I was assisted in my Enquiry by Lieutenant Commander S.J.

M/S Trawler POLLY JOHNSON on 29th May, 1940. 2. Skipper Lieutenant L. Lake, R.N.R. who was in command of POLLY JOHNSON was examined on 1st October, 1940. 3. At about 1500 on 29th May when POLLY JOHNSON was secured to CALVI which was alongside the pier at Dunkirk and astern of GRENADE, she was subjected to a heavy bombing attack. Splinters from near misses perforated the ship's port side with small holes just above the water line and put the 12 pdr. gun out of action. 4. The ship was subjected to further bombing attacks during the next two hours but at 1700, with about 50 troops and some survivors from GRENADE on board, she proceeded out of harbour, being able to make only very slow speed. 5. Engine and Boiler rooms were making water steadily and ship's pumps were unable to cope with the rate of flooding. 6. At about 1830 midway between Middlekerk and Nieuport Buoys when it was obvious that POLLY JOHNSON would not remain afloat much longer, Trawler ARLEY came alongside and took all hands on board. 7. ARLEY then endeavoured to destroy POLLY JOHNSON by gunfire but failed and left her in a sinking condition in about 7/8 fathoms. It is considered, however, that she was unlikely to remain afloat for long. 8. Although it was not possible to elicit full particulars of the damage sustained by this ship it seems, from the evidence, in view of the fact that water was fast entering the Engine and Boiler room that this compartment was flooding below the waterline as result of heavy underwater explosions. The flooding was accentuated when draught increased to admit water through holes already made above the waterline. 9. Secret Charts were burnt in the stokehold before ship was abandoned and all S.P's and C.B's were transferred to ARLEY and landed at Dover. 10, is the desirability of these craft carrying a number of varying The only point brought out in the loss of this vessel size wooden plugs for stopping shot holes. 11./ Secretary of the Admiralty.

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

About 400 small craft, ranging from Dutch skoots of to 30 ft. Motor boats, set out at various times to the Flanders Coast. In addition scores of pulling boats, merchant ship life-boats, Naval cutters and whalers, were sent off in tow. Only a proportion - particularly of the ed pulling boats - succeeded in reaching the coast and taking active part in the evacuation. Fewer still were able to the remain off the coast for more than one period. Nevertheless these small craft, in conjunction with the pulling and power for boats of H. M. ships off the coast, were responsible for ps lifting more than 100,000 Allied troops direct off a stretch of open beach in shoal waters between 1600/27/5 and 0400/2/6. Further, a large number of the power boats operated within Dunkirk harbour on the last three nights, working principally in the inner harbour, which was continually under artillery fire, ferrying a further large uncounted number out to the 168 comparative safety of ships lying off. off 99. Throughout the period all these craft of the inshore flotillas were subjected at one time or another to intense attack from the air, both by bombing and machine gun, and a large proportion also to sporadic bombardment by German artillery. Under this fire no case occurred of boats ceasing work as long as troops were in sight on shore, and movements of boats westward away from the fire zone only occurred as dictated by the military situation ashore. 100. The initial despatch of requisitioned and volunteer small craft was controlled from - Naval Control Service, London, S Westminster Pier, Ramsgate, Gravesend, Dover, Southend, Newhaven, ¡aval Sheerness, Portsmouth, preliminary/

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 been under gun fire before and cortainly none of thom had ever been under Naval discipline. Those boats were Thames ostuary fishing boats/

By the night of the 30th/31st a considerable number of collapsible boats and pontoons had been received from the Royal Engineers of the B.E.F. These were of great assistance and paddled off about 10 men in each trip, but again, in spite of all efforts, in the vast majority of cases, the soldiers left these craft when they arrived at the offshore ship. 107. Much of the most meritorious work of lifting off the beaches was done by the offshore warships' own boats, who were tireless in their efforts. All small pulling boats and small power boats were lowered and were lent from ship to ship when their own parent ship left the coast to unload at a United Kingdom port. In addition, H.M. ships seized drifting and abandoned boats as opportunity offered and manned them up with boat keepers. Owing to the physical exhaustion of these boats' crews after hours of work, relief crews of stokers were frequently provided from amongst the many volunteers that came forth. 108. A typical example of dogged work by a ship's boat was afforded by the action of JAVELIN's and JAGUAR's boats off Bray beach in the afternoon of 28/5. When their two motor cutters and two whalers first grounded offshore they were rushed and swamped by soldiers. Order being restored the boats had to be baled out and the wet engines restarted, following which 700 troops were embarked by these few boats in a short time during continuous bombing attacks. 109. Of the power boats available by far the most useful and suitable were the A.L.Cs., M.L.Cs. and the small type of R.N.L.I. life-boat. The high speed service motor boats such as DOLPHIN's and EXCELLENT's boats and the R.A.F. Seaplane tenders proved unsuitable for work in shallow waters on a lee shore owing to the vulnerability of their propellers and rudders and their poor manoeuvring powers at low speeds. 110. Of the civilian manned craft one of the best performances was that of the London Fire Brigade fire float MASSEY SHAW. All the volunteer crew were members of the London Fire Brigade or Auxiliary Fire Service and succeeded in doing 4 round trips to the beaches in their well-found craft. In contrast to this performance and that also of the R.N.L.I. crews of the Ramsgate and Margate life-boats, who took their boats over to Dunkirk, no volunteers, except for the coxswain and engineer of the Dover life-boat, were forthcoming from the R.N.L.I. crews of the other life-boats, which were accordingly manned by R.N. crews. Also it must be noted that civilian craft of such flotillas as the Rye fishing fleet did not relish the idea of carrying out ferry- ing work off the Flanders coast. Fishing boats and pleasure boats from as far along the south coast as Brixham and Dartmouth arrived at various times up to p.m. 30/5, but again the civilian crews were not prepared to proceed to Dunkirk. Accordingly, the most suitable of such boats as could be manned by the Naval personnel available were taken up, but the remainder took no part in the operations. 111./

SECRET. Meet Friday 3. Office of Flag Officer Commanding, DOVER. No.A.14/0/1015/40. 5th July, 1940. Sir, Be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report and enclosures containing my recommendations of personnel who took part in Operation Dynamo, namely the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk and neighbouring beaches between the 26th May and 4th June, 1940. 2. The special features of this Operation were the air attacks on ships and embarkation points, unparalleled for duration and intensity. Unlike a naval engagement, the majority of ships and vessels operated over a prolonged period, having to return again and again to face most difficult conditions of navigation and strong enemy activity. These conditions demanded a high degree of physical and mental endurance, apart from courage and determination in the face of enemy action. 3. The roll of officers and men considered to be deserving of special recognition for their services in this Operation has been divided into two parts - List 'A' and List "B". List "A" comprises those recommended for decoration, for advancement, or for mention. List 'B' contains recommendations for mention only. The reason for making a sub-division is that I believe the total number of officers and men recommended is somewhat high, judged by normal standards of naval actions in the past, but at the same time, I should not be doing justice to the deeds of officers and men on this occasion if I did not bring to notice all those whose services I consider to be thoroughly deserving of recognition. List 'B', therefore, has been formed by taking from the original single list:- (1) a large number of officers who are undoubtedly P deserving of recognition, but whose presence in List A' would make the proportion of officers to men on that list considerably greater than Admiralty policy hitherto has directed. Some of these ) officers, were the whole truth known, would undoubtedly fully merit decoration. As it is, thisy still leaves the proportion of officers to men on List 'A' at 1 to 2. The Secretary of the Admiralty, Admiralty, London, 8.W.1.

"Keith" is dealt with on page 21 of List A. It is now submitted for the consideration of Their Lordships that the accompanying pages 21, 21A and 21B may be substituted for that previously forwarded. 3. The figures given in paragraph 5 of the original despatch will require amendment as follows:- List "A" contains the names of - 227 Officers 457 Men of these, recommendations are made for:- 327 for decoration, 347 for mention, 10 for advancement.

Bombs were being dropped in the harbour at the time though no attack was actually made on the ship at this period. No attempt was made to leave until the ship had as full a load as possible, and during the period of loading the officers and crow were a. splendid example of coolness, and continued to assist the troops in embarking as though nothing was happening. Shortly after leaving the harbour H.M.S. Worcester was twice attacked by numbers of dive bombers, at least 8 aeroplanes taking part in the second attack. A very large number of bombs were dropped. Considerable damage was done to the ship and a large number of casualties were caused, and it was a general opinion among all ranks on board that it was only the cool and brilliant handling of the ship, already only able to proceed at half speed, that saved the lives of all on board. Added to this, the magnificent performance of the guns' crews who served their guns throughout in spite of suffering continual casualties among the crews was the admiration of all. The Army owes a debt to this gallant ship's company for the large number of lives saved and brought safely into the home port. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, (signed) J.C.

Later in the day she was severely shaken by near misses. 30th May, she came under fire from shore batteries, receiving several hits on the bridge and superstructure. Her Gyro compass was put out of action, and owing to the D/G cable being damaged, her magnetic compass was rendered practically useless. Although the D/G cable was repaired, her compass was unreliable the rest of the operation. By P.M. 30th, all hands were utterly exhausted, but a night's rest and a day in harbour, while repairs were effected, "gave them a new lease of life." The Commanding Officer, in his narrative, points out that SABRE'S engines are 22 years old, and were submerged and full of salt water for 48 hours after a collision in October 1939. To avoid bombs and shell fire, it was necessary to make most exacting demands on the engines.

SECRET Office of Flag Officer Commanding, DOVER. No.A.14/0/1015/40. 5th July, 1940. Sir, Be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report and enclosures containing my recommendations of personnel who took part in Operation Dynamo, namely the evacuation of the Allied Armies from Dunkirk and neighbouring beaches between the 26th May and 4th June, 1940. 2. The special features of this Operation were the air attacks on ships and embarkation points, unparalleled for duration and intensity. Unlike a naval engagement, the majority of ships and vessels operated over a prolonged period, having to return again and again to face most difficult conditions of navigation and strong enemy activity. These conditions demanded a high degree of physical and mental endurance, apart from courage and determination in the face of enemy action. 3. The roll of officers and men considered to be deserving of special recognition for their services in this Operation has been divided into two parts - List "A" and List 'B'. List 'A' comprises those recommended for decoration, for advancement, or for mention. List 'B' contains recommendations for mention only. The reason for making a sub-division is that I believe the total number of officers and men recommended is somewhat high, judged by normal standards of naval actions in the past, but at the same time, I should not be doing justice to the deeds of officers and men on this occasion if I did not bring to notice all those whose services I consider to be thoroughly deserving of recognition. List 'B', therefore, has been formed by taking from the original single list:- (1) a large number of officers who are undoubtedly deserving of recognition, but whose presence in List "A" would make the proportion of officers to men on that list considerably greater than Admiralty policy hitherto has directed. Some of these officers, were the whole truth known, would undoubtedly fully merit decoration. As it is, this still leaves the proportion of officers to men on List 'A' at 1 to 2. The Secretary of the Admiralty, Admiralty, London, B.W.1. representation/

MALCOLM was considerably shaken by near misses of bombs and to have kept going to and from Dunkirk daily, except for one night and a day when ordered by Vice Admiral Dover to take a much needed rest, reflects the greatest credit on all officers and men. Recommendations. ERS: Lieutenant Jan Nagle Douglas Cox, R.N. (1st Lieutenant), Displayed great efficiency in organising the ship for the embarkation and stowage of troops. Although he had so recently joined the ship he obtained the confidence and co-operation of the ship's company. Boarded S.S.

Page 24 Operation "DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel. N.M.S. SABRE - Commander Brian Dean. R.N. (decorated D.S.O. for this operation London Gazette 7th June, 1940). During the period 27th May 4th June, this old Destroyer made 10 trips to the beaches, the record number of trips for any class of vessel taking part in the operation, and brought back a total of 5,000 troops. On emerging from Dunkirk harbour, 29th May, SABRE found some men struggling in the water. Having no boats - they had left with the First Lieutenant working with other vessels off the beach . the ship was manoeuvred alongside each man in turn. Throughout that operation she was repeatedly attacked by dive bombers, but sustained no damage. Later in the day she was severely shaken by near misses. 30th May, she came under fire from shore batteries, receiving several hits on the bridge and superstructure. Her Gyro compass was put out of action, and Owing to the D/G cable being damaged, her magnetic compass was rendered practically useless. Although the D/G cable was repaired, her compass was unreliable the rest of the operation. By P.M. 30th, all hands were utterly exhausted, but a night's rest and a day in harbour, while repairs were effected, "gave them a new lease of life." The Commanding Officer, in his narrative, points out that SABRE'S engines are 22 years old, and were submerged and full of salt water for 48 hours after a collision in October 1939. To avoid bombs and shell fire, it was necessary to make most exacting demands on the engines. In every case the response was immediate, all that could be desired, and far greater than could reasonably be expected. Recommendations. OFFICERS. Lieutenant Norman John Parker, R.N. Thoroughly reliable in all emergencies. Also did well in charge of boats, embarking the maximum number of troops in the minimum time. Was always one of the first to sight aircraft and was quick to get the guns on to them, and so to keep the aircraft at a respectful distance. Recommended for mention. Midshipman Edward Folmer Archdale. R.N. Was of great assistance in identifying aircraft, and in keeping a record of the ship's movements often when under fire, when he was invariably cool and unruffled. Recommended for mention. Commissioned Engineer Reginald Thomas Jones. For resource, leadership and devotion to duty in action and maintaining high efficiency of his engines. Recommended for decoration. RATINGS/
