"This Officer has been in charge of repairs and maintenance of training ships attached to HMCS Cornwallis since the base opened. By his constant attention to duty, zeal and energy, the training flotilla has been kept in efficient running condition in spite of shortage of equipment, parts and proper machine shop facilities. When parts have been unobtainable, he has built new ones, and in every other way has shown outstanding initiative."
