I have just read the discussion about the Ben My Chree at Dunkirk and can add something. My late father was on the crew of this ship and he told me that after taking troops from Dunkirk they went down to Brest with the intention of picking up more troops who had moved down there. He used to say that when they got there the harbour was already under German fire so the skipper did not dock and they sailed out. It is possible that he got the harbour wrong and it was in fact St Nazaire or perhaps they then went on to St Nazaire. I guess in time peoples memories do get blurred.
