THOMPSON, Edwin Alexander, Captain, RCN

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"This Officer, who returned to the Royal Canadian Navy on the outbreak of hostilities, has consistently worked long hours efficiently and cheerfully. for the greater part of the war, he has been almost entirely responsible for appointments of all officers ashore and afloat. The remarkable lack of misfits, particularly at sea, is a tribute to his psychological acumen and justice."
