By sending Captain Tennant to Dunkirk, Admiral Ramsay decided to allow the British troops to cross the English Channel. On Monday, 27th May, Captain tenant moved to Dunkirk on Wolfhound destroyer. As soon as the ship cleared Dover, the air attacks bean on it. In the two-hour bombardment, the British destroyer pounded ack-ack guns and swerved almost continuously to dodge the rain of bombs. As soon as it reached near Dunkirk, Captain Tennant’s heart sank to see the havoc at the lport. Black smoke from burning oil refineries enveloped the harbour, and the miles of warehouses and quays seemed on fire. Above all, the German bombardment was don incessantly. Only one telephone link remained open to London. Through an error in interpreting orders, 100 odd heavy anti-aircraft guns were destroyed and 30,000 incendiaries and 15,000 highly explosive bombs killed 1,000men, women and children.
