This officer, as master of an RCAF Marine Craft, has carried out many difficult assignments in extremely adverse weather conditions in the north. He has displayed initiative, enthusiasm and despatch in making possible the opening up of bases so essential to the prosecution of the war. In addition to superbly navigating his small vessel through uncharted waters, he charted and sounded many hazardous inlets, thereby providing information of inestimable value to future operations in the area.
