Mentioned in Despatches

NELSON, Terrence Dominic, Signal, V-51108, RCNVR, HMCS Valleyfield

Issued: 5-Jan-1946, Canada Gazette

"For gallantry and self sacrifice above and beyond the normal call of duty. Nelson, who was off watch at the time HMCS Valleyfield was torpedoed, could have escaped through the emergency hatch. Instead, he remained below, organized the escape and maintained order. He saved many lives as he guided the men to safety, and in doing so, gave his own life."

* Issued posthumously
