"For undaunted courage and loyalty in the face of the enemy. Sub-Lieutenant Cork, in charge of the Naval Control Boarding party of six men, boarded a still smouldering ship. Throughout a long and trying day, he carried on with zeal, courage and distinction, to the point of exhaustion, and by his efforts he materially aided in the beaching of the vessel with a view to her eventual salvage."
