British Empire Medal

CAMPBELL, Albert Bruce, AS, FR 244, RCNR, HMCS Kuttan

Issued: 10-Jun-1944, Canada Gazette

"For gallantry in effecting the rescue of two men from a drifting oil barge during a gale on the west coast of Vancouver Island in October, 1943. Able Seaman Campbell volunteered to accompany Sub-Lieutenant Idiens in HMCS Kuitan's ship's boat to undertake the rescue of the marooned men, after all attempts to effect the rescue from HMCS Kuitan had failed. The successful rescue of these seamen was in no small measure due to the excellent assistance rendered by this rating."

Mentioned in Despatches

CAMPBELL, Albert Bruce, AS, A-3836, RCNR, HMCS Esquimalt

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"Able Seaman Campbell, by his cheerfulness and his cool and collected attitude, was an inspiration to the others in his carley float after the sinking of HMCS Esquimalt. By his example, he was probably instrumental in saving several lives. His gallantry in action was credit to the high traditions of the Royal Canadian Navy."
