"For inestimable devotion to duty and meritorious service over a long period of time. Chief Engine Room Artificer Foster has served aboard HMCS Eyebright from October 1940, three months prior to her commissioning until she paid off recently. He has performed his duties in a most exemplary manner and at all times has been a great inspiration to all the ratings in the Engine Room Department. His efforts beyond the call of duty on behalf of the ship and his men, were , in no small measure responsible for the high state of efficiency over a long period at sea of HMCS Eyebright."
