Levenwood, a 803 ton coaster armed with a 12 pounder, a Lewis and Bren gun and was transporting stores for the army.On 31 May 1940 he was ordered across to Dunkirk to help with the evacuation. Two miles east of the piers at noon, the Levenwood was attacked by German aircraft, the first shell from her 12 pdr, manned by a Merchant Navy gunner hit one of the attacking aircraft which crashed into the dunes.The speed of the evacuation from the sands was very slow and a naval officer asked Captain Young to put his ship onto the beach in a desperate attempt to speed things up.

The ship remained in position until Young got the Levenwood safely off the beach and returned to England. The ship had been frequently attacked by German aircraft.The London Gazette of 16 August 1940 announced the award of DSC to Captain Young and a DSM to his fireman R.
