QUEEN'S COMMENDATION for BRAVE CONDUCT

SCOTT, Donald John, Surgeon Lt, 0-65495 , RCN

Issued: 18-Sep-1965, Canada Gazette

"The 2nd Destroyer Squadron was en route to Japan in February 1965 when a distress call was received from an American Oil Tanker. One of their crew was seriously ill and Surgeon Lt Scott was sent by small boat from HMCS MacKenzie to the tanker to care for the sick sailor. The sea was very rough but Lt Scott made it onboard the tanker and found that the sailor had a ruptured appendix. The ship was 36 hours from Guam and Lt Scott provided care for the 36 hours of transit. The sailor lived due to the fine care of this officer.”
