ALBERT MEDAL (in Bronze For Saving Life on Land)

GOODWIN, George Everett, Stoker 2/c , RCNVR, Newfoundland Hotel Fire

Issued: 24-Mar-1945, Canada Gazette

"For supreme gallantry in rescuing occupants of the Knights of Columbus Hotel, St. John's Newfoundland, on the occasion of its destruction on 12th, December 1942, by fire. Notwithstanding the fact that he could have saved his own life and that he himself was very badly burned, this rating assisted in removing two girls from the building, thereby saving their lives. He was then overcome by flames and lost his life."
