"This Rating has consistently displayed fine and outstanding service as Chief Motor Mechanic, far beyond his normal duties. During three years and six months in charge of Diesel Engines, Talbot maintained his equipment in excellent condition. His initiative led him to study the electrical, magnetic minesweeping control gear and enabled him, on numerous occasions, to effect repairs which normally would have entailed returning to harbour. His suggestions also resulted in several minor improvements to equipment."
