Captain Edward V. Kinross:
Now, you probably all know what we've got to do, don't you? The whole British Expeditionary Force is falling back on Dunkirk. Now, in peacetime, as you know, there's a lot of leg-pulling between the services. But the soldiers are our brothers in arms and it's up to us to get 'em off so they can live to fight again. Let them see how much we admire the way they fought. And don't forget, the success of our evacuation is measured by the smallness of the military casualties, *not* the naval ones. The soldiers are our guests, and their lives will be in our hands
