Mentioned in Despatches

COCK, Peter John Bligh, LCdr, RCNVR, HMCS Haida

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"For untiring devotion to duty, zeal and cheerfulness under trying conditions, in the face of the enemy. This Officer showed great qualities of leadership and devotion to duty during an attack on a slow convoy in 1941 (HMCS Kenogami). At that time, men and equipment were inadequate and it was primarily due to these efforts that he organized the ship's company into a highly efficient fighting unit. His exemplary conduct was an inspiration to the men working with him.'
