Member - Order of the British Empire

CHANEY, Lawrence, Boatswain, RCN

Issued: 10-Jun-1944, Canada Gazette

"By his devotion to duty, zeal and endurance as Officer-in-Charge of the Diving Staff at St. John's Newfoundland, this Officer has been an inspiration to his staff. During the winter months, he and his divers have carried out their duties in wasters of below freezing temperatures and often through ice. Work has been carried out, although the divers were numbed with cold, and the fighting efficiency and seaworthiness of ships have been maintained. Through his efforts, many delays have been obviated, and escort groups have been maintained in an efficient state."
