* A "Dunkirk Evacuation" DSC Group to Captain W.O. Young, DSC, Merchant NavyDistinguished Service Cross, G.VI.R. by Garrard & Co, reverse officially dated '1940' in Garrard box of issueBritish War and Mercantile Marine Medal (William O. Young)1939-1945 StarAtlantic StarItaly StarWar Medal, very fine and better, sold with a folder of extensive researchQTY: (7)NOTE:William Oswald Young (1895-1967) was born in Sunderland Co. Durham, he went to sea and joined the Prince Line Ltd as an apprentice onboard S.S. Orange Prince and was onboard the ship when it was sunk in the Mediterranean by the German submarine U-34. The ship had been on a voyage from Avonmounth to Mudros with a general cargo, 3 crew were lost.Young was a crew member on various ships of the Prince Line and sometime prior to the outbreak of WWII he joined the Constantine Shipping Co as Master. During 1940 he was the Master of the S.S. 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. Blowing the Levenwood's forepeak tank, young beached the ship in 8 foot of water and the system of ropes and pulleys was arranged between ship and shore. 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. Moody, who had spent most of his time in the water helping and coaxing soldiers through the sea and breaking surf to the boats.Young remained with the Constantine Shipping Co for the remainder of his career until his retirement in 1957.
