Mentioned in Despatches

CONN, James Ralph , Ldg Steward, V-67835, RCNVR, HMCS Esquimalt

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"Leading Steward Conn showed exceptional courage in remaining in the upper mess deck helping others to get up from the lower mess deck despite the fact that HMCS Esquimalt was obviously sinking fast. When last seen, he was still thus engaged and it is presumed that he went down with the ship."

* Issued posthumously
