"Formerly in the Fisherman's Reserve and now in General Service, this Officer is a splendid example of that body of fine seamen. He has patrolled the treacherous British Columbia Coast throughout six years of war, in all weather and often under extremely adverse conditions. Respected and admired by all, his ability and conduct have at all times been worthy of the highest traditions of the Service."
