"Stoker Petty Officer Chemist has served in HMCS Orillia since September 1940, during which time an excellent record has been built up, both in action against the enemy and in rescues, towing operations, etc. His value to the Service, both through his experience in marine work and in his instruction of inexperienced stokers in the ship, has been of the highest order, and his unswerving devotion to duty, and loyalty are worthy of the highest commendation."
