"Previous to joining the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve, in the early years of the war, Chief Petty Officer Carey served for twelve years with the Royal Navy. During this war, he has at all times discharged his duties as an Instructor with greater than normal diligence, and he has proved invaluable as a trainer and disciplinarian for New Entry ratings. His devotion to duty has been an inspiration to all those with whom he worked."
