Mentioned in Despatches

KNIGHT, Robert Russell, LS, V-19140, RCNR, HMCS Esquimalt

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"After the torpedoing of HMCS Esquimalt, Leading Seaman Knight found himself on a carley float which was overcrowded and without hesitation swam to another. Later, he re-entered the water and took a leading part in getting two of the floats secured together. His subsequent death is believed to have been partly due to these exertions and the additional time in the water. His bravery, resource and devotion to duty were in keeping with the high standards of the Canadian Naval Service."
