British Empire Medal

PICKERING, William Clifton, CPO, A-2654, RCNR

Issued: 10-Jun-1944, Canada Gazette

"This Rating has served continuously at sea since October, 1940, during which time his ship has been under air attack in the Western Approaches with loss of life, and has repeatedly engaged in anti-U-Boat encounters whilst escorting convoys across the North Atlantic. By his faithful and cheerful performance of duty, as Leading Seaman, and Coxswain, and by his outstanding skill and presence of mind as a helmsman in countless emergencies, and during the initial experiments in oiling at sea, this Rating has been an inspiration to the whole ship's company."
