"This Stoker Petty Officer's conduct and bearing have been an inspiration to the entire ship's company during the twenty-two months he has been at sea. In addition to his regular duties, he acted as Sick Berth Attendant for the greater part of the time, and in this capacity rendered invaluable assistance, particularly during and after heavy attacks on a convoy in the North Atlantic in giving aid to the one hundred and sixty-nine survivors who were picked up."
