Commendation

McLAREN, Roy David, A/LS (DEMS), V-56084, RCNVR

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"During a fire on board S.S. Moyra in the St. Lawrence in May, 1945, in which the vessel was practically gutted, Leading Seaman McLaren showed great initiative in removing ammunition from the Magazine at the risk of his life, thereby preventing a severe explosion. He also threw a number of drums of oil overboard while the decks were almost red hot. His gallantry and bravery were a source of inspiration to the men working with him."
