British Empire Medal

BOON, Allan, LS, V-16252, RCNVR, HMCS Nanoose

Issued: 10-Jun-1944, Canada Gazette

"This rating has displayed outstanding devotion to duty while serving in HMCS Nanoose since joining the ship 1 May 1941. Recently when it was necessary to fit sixteen Bangor Minesweepers with mine-sweeping gear within a few days, he accomplished tasks over and above his normal duties, taking charge of a party and showing marked ingenuity and ability. Throughout, his cheerfulness and leadership have been an inspiration to his fellow seamen."
