Mentioned in Despatches

DRYDEN, Albert Gordon, A/ERA 4/c, A-24854, RCNR, HMCS Matapedia

Issued: 10-Jun-1944, Canada Gazette

"For coolness and devotion to duty while on duty in the engine room of HMCS Matapedia under very trying circumstances following a collision, thereby setting a fine example to the remainder of the engine room crew. This rating stayed at his post awaiting further orders in spite of the knowledge of the serious damage sustained and the possibility of the ship sinking. His coolness, without doubt, inspired those about him."
