GRAY, David, PO (HSD), V-23092 , RCNVR, HMCS Chaudiere

Issued: 16-Jun-1945, Canada Gazette

"For outstanding zeal, energy and devotion to duty over a long period at sea. This rating was largely responsible for the very high efficiency of HMCS Chaudiere's A/S Team, on the occasion of the destruction of one U-Boat and the probably destruction of another. He showed exceptional devotion to duty during long and trying periods of A/S work immediately after D-Day, and has consistently been an example to those with whom he has worked. This rating was awarded an MID on 1 January 1945."
