British Empire Medal

LAMBERT, Leopold Joseph, A/PO (DEMS), B-260, RCNR, SS Cornwallis

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"Petty Officer Lambert has served for the past five and a half years on Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships, sixty-one months of which were spent at sea. While serving on board the S.S. Cornwallis, he was largely responsible for the repulse of an air attack on his ship off the coast of Ireland in July, 1940. Petty Officer Lambert's courage and devotion to duty has been a source of inspiration to the men serving with him throughout his long period of service."
