British Empire Medal

BODEN, Arnold William, A/Chief RadA, 40958, RCN

Issued: 15-Jun-1946, Canada Gazette

"This Chief Petty Officer has shown a marked ability and superior intelligence in the execution of Radio Maintenance in the Royal Canadian Navy since the outbreak of hostilities, especially in the Newport Corner High Power W/T. Station. Due to his initiative and keen sense of judgement he has been instrumental in keeping important equipment in operation during critical moments when delays due to radio breakdowns would have been felt by ships relying on broadcasts emanating from this station, during the Battle of the Atlantic. His cheerfulness, patience and conscientious devotion to duty together with the ability "to put it over" has without doubt set a fine example and has left its mark on junior radio artificers with whom he has come into contact."
