Distinguished Service Medal

COSTELLO, Earl, A/LS (Ty), V-5597 , RCNVR, HMCS Assiniboine

Issued: 12-Dec-1942, Canada Gazette

"For courage and enterprise before the enemy. During the successful action between HMCS Assiniboine and an enemy U-Boat, this rating was in charge of a 0.5 multiple machine gun. The coolness and courage of the highest order which he exhibited enabled him to maintain extraordinarily accurate fire which prevented the enemy U-Boat crew from reaching their forward gun. By his accurate fire, he made a decisive contribution to the success of the action."
