Flying Officer
Unit:
No. 405 (Vancouver) Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force

"This officer is an excellent navigator who has completed almost two tours of operations. Many of his operational sorties were carried out against heavily defended enemy targets such as Berlin, Hamburg and Mannheim. This officer, on many occasions, came under heavy fire, but in spite of personal danger, carried out his missions in a most commendable manner, which has acted as an incentive to those less experienced than himself.
