Mentioned in Despatches

CORBETT, Douglas, PO Tele, V-5816, RCNVR, HMCS Chebogue

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"For outstanding bravery and gallantry in the face of trying circumstances. After torpedoing of HMCS Chebogue, Petty Officer Corbett displayed outstanding devotion to duty, remaining constantly at his place of duty in the W/T Office maintaining constant touch with other escorts in the Group. These duties were performed under most difficult and trying circumstances, as the ship was at that time believed to be in a sinking condition. He subsequently displayed initiative in rigging jury aerials and in getting the W/T equipment back into efficient working order."
