HOWARD, Louis Henry, S/Lt, RCNVR, HMCS Sarnia

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"For displaying initiative and resourcefulness in assisting survivors after the sinking of HMCS Esquimalt. This Officer, who was serving in HMCS Sarnia, went over the ship's side to help bring men aboard, and supervised the artificial respiration to the dying on the quarterdeck prior to their being moved to Sick Bay. He was personally responsible for saving a life after applying artificial respiration for over an hour. Sub-Lieutenant Howard's conduct during this time was a credit to his ship, and aided greatly in helping the wounded and the dying."
