People Records
People associated with Operation Dynamo
This searchable index brings together named officers, naval ratings, service personnel and civilians recorded in wartime reports, ship records, honours material and other historical logs relating to Operation Dynamo and the Dunkirk evacuation of May–June 1940.
It is not a definitive roll of everyone who participated. Records have been aggregated and transcribed from several sources, which may be incomplete, inconsistent or contain errors. Inclusion indicates that an individual is associated with Operation Dynamo in one or more source records; it should not be treated as conclusive evidence of a person’s role or actions without checking the underlying material.
