Dunkirk Survivors

Our knowledge of HMS Medway Queen's part in Operation Dynamo is increasing all the time. In addition to Jack Skinner's first hand accounts mentioned in a previous post we have now added more names to our survivors list.

W.J.C. Fuller was a Lieutenant on HMS Brighton Belle. He was picked up by Medway Queen when Brighton Belle sank on May 28th. His grandson has copied some notes for us and the (false) press reports of MQ being sunk during Operation Dynamo. 

Oliver Clifford was a lance Corporal in the RASC and was rescued from Dunkirk by HMS Medway Queen, although we do not have the date he was picked up. 

Ronald Arthur Medhust was a Lance Corporal in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He too was picked up by MQ but, again, we do not have details of date etc.

The quest for information on our ship's history is continuous. If anyone can add to our knowledge please get in touch. Next year sees a significant anniversary of the Dunkirk Operation which we will mark in a number of ways and any extra information might help us in that.
