Mentioned in Despatches

FORTIN, Joseph Emilien Benoit, PO2, HMCS Iroquois

Issued: 13-Jun-1953, Canada Gazette

"On 2nd October, 1952, an enemy shell struck the ship, killing or wounding several men. While serving in charge of a medical party, although wounded himself, he administered first aid to all in need, with total disregard for his own needs. His fine example of courage and devotion to duty when in danger were in the best traditions of the Medical Branch."
