Mentioned in Despatches

LIGHTHALL, Augustus Eastman, CPO, A-2404, RCNR, HMCS Alberni

Issued: 14-Jun-1945, London Gazette

"For courage and resourcefulness while picking up survivors under adverse weather conditions in the North Atlantic in October 1942, and again in the Mediterranean in February 1943. This rating, who lost his life at the time of the destruction of HMCS Alberni, always showed a consistent devotion to duty and coolness in action. This was evident at the time of the destruction of a JU-88 in July, 1944. His conduct in action was always a credit to the service and an inspiration to the men serving under him."

* Issued posthumously
