Officer - Order of the British Empire

PRESSEY, Arthur Roddy, Cdr , RCN, Director Anti-sub

Issued: 5-Jun-1943, Canada Gazette

"The Royal Canadian Navy being primarily an anti-submarine navy, the development of anti-submarine warfare facilities has been a matter of prime importance. This Officer has been Director of Anti-Submarine Warfare for over two years, and during that time has developed and fostered the production of anti-submarine gear of all types, at times in the face of seemingly insuperable difficulties. In addition, he has been adviser in anti-submarine matters to the Naval Staff. His contribution to the Royal Canadian Navy War effort, although of necessity unspectacular, is worthy of high commendation and recognition."
