Statue of Vice Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsey at Admiralty Lookout Dover Castle Kent England UK GB

---

Vice Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsey organised historic evacuation of Allied Soldiers from Dunkirk in "Operation Dynamo" in 1940. Operation Dynamo took its name from the dynamo room in the naval headquarters below Dover Castle, which contained the dynamo that provided the building with electricity during the war. It was in this room that British Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsay planned the operation and briefed Winston Churchill as it was under way.
