Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"This Officer, who served during the last war, rejoined the Service at the outbreak of hostilities. He was appointed Secretary of the Naval Board of Canada upon its formation, a position which entailed the reorganization and administration of Naval Service Headquarters during the period of its greatest expansion. In this and subsequent appointments, Captain Pennington has continued to serve steadfastly and unremittingly with the highest degree of loyalty, efficiency and tact. His contribution to the Canadian Naval Service during his five years of service has been consistently outstanding and worthy of the highest recognition."
