Member - Order of the British Empire

BACAL, Harry Lyon, Surgeon Commander, RCNVR(Retired)

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"For the exhibition of conspicuous zeal and ingenuity in organizing a Naval Well-Baby Health Service. For the children of Naval ratings, this service has provided free immunization against contagious disease, periodic physical examinations and instruction for mother in feeding problems and hygiene. Not only has this organization improved the health of Naval dependants but it has contributed immeasurably to a feeling of security on the part of fathers at sea, and mothers carrying a heavy burden at home. Toward this goal, as in the performance of other duties, this Officer has striven untiringly to inculcate in his colleagues a vision of what such a service might mean in terms of health and morale, not only in Naval circles, but also in Canadian communities of the future."
