British Empire Medal

JOURDIN, Arthur Andrew, Chief Stoker, V-11231, RCNVR, HMCS Cape Breton

Issued: 16-Jun-1945, Canada Gazette

"For outstanding organizing ability and leadership. This Chief Stoker has served a total of forty-five months at sea since November 1939, and on one occasion proved himself to be cool-headed and fearless in dealing with a dangerous boiler-room fire about HMCS Cape Breton. He has sacrificed shore leave many times by his zeal in voluntarily coping with work on hand and in supervising the many fuellings of the ship."
