Mentioned in Despatches

GRIFFITHS, John Charles, CERA, V-11436, RCNVR, HMCS Brandon

Issued: 13-Jun-1942, Canada Gazette

"On 19 October 1941, a leak developed in HMCS Brandon (Flower Class Corvette - K149) whilst at sea in a gale, and water entering the engine room appeared to be beyond control. Chief Engine Room Artificer Griffiths displayed initiative and resource of a high order in gaining control of the leak under the worst conditions possible. It was due to his efforts that way was kept on the ship, enabling her to ride the gale when a heavy sea aboard would have meant disaster. Chief Engine Room Artificer Griffiths, by his zealous and courageous conduct, set an example to those around him worthy of the best Naval traditions."
