Mentioned in Despatches

GEDDES, Edward John, A/LCdr (E), RCNR, HMCS Chebogue

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"For outstanding gallantry, ceaseless vigilance and devotion to duty in enemy action. Lieutenant Geddes was Engineer Officer of HMCS Chebogue when that ship was torpedoed. He displayed exemplary courage during the whole of the action returning to the boiler room to extinguish fires knowing that the ship was in a sinking condition. Later, he took charge of the Damage Control Party and it was partially due to his untiring efforts in the shoring of the after bulkheads and deckheads that HMCS Chebogue was able to remain afloat."
