British Empire Medal

SCOTT, George Tait, LSpA, V-18582, RCNVR

Issued: 6-Jan-1945, Canada Gazette

"This rating has been on active service since October 1941, and for the past eight months has served with a Landing Craft Flotilla in the United Kingdom. While working with this flotilla, Scott has put forth seemingly untiring efforts, certainly far beyond the call of normal duty. The quality of his work has always been the best and without him, the supply end of the Accountant Branch Organization would have been most difficult. This was particularly noticeable during the weeks prior to D-Day, when he worked at least five nights a week until the early hours of the morning. He had the task of dealing with the supply problems of eleven ships under the most difficult conditions at a time when the resources of the Port were overtaxed and every demand had to be fought for. He has always been cheerful, willing and most capable. His example was an inspiration to the rest of the staff."
