NELSON, David Hubert, A/Chief OA, 40631, RCN, HMCS Ontario

Issued: 15-Jun-1946, Canada Gazette

"Chief Petty Officer Nelson joined the Royal Canadian Navy during the early years of the war and has served over a year and a half at sea. In June 1944, he joined HMCS Ontario, prior to her commissioning and made a valuable contribution to the work in his branch. His constant cheerfulness and loyalty together with his drive, energy, efficiency and devotion to duty during the war in the Pacific Theatre were a constant example and splendid influence upon the entire ship's company."
