LEUT G. L. Fowle, RAN, commanded the former Dutch schuyt HMS DOGGER BANK, in the evacuation of troops from Cherbourg and St Malo. He later brought out civilians from the Channel Islands, hours before the German occupation. Fowle was later awarded the DSC for gallantry while serving in HMAS HOBART, (cruiser), in the Philippines.
