British Empire Medal

D'AUBIN, Donald Rupert, ERA 4/c, V26252, RCNVR, HMCS Moncton

Issued: 8-Jan-1944, Canada Gazette

"When HMCS Moncton (Flower Class Corvette - K139) was in collision with S.S. Jamaica Producer, this rating, in spite of severe damage incurred, tried the engines for damage and raised steam in order to attempt to reach port. He took charge of the engine room staff during the time when the Chief Engine Room Artificer was not available, due to a slight concussion received when the ship was rammed. D'Aubin set an example to the remained of the engine room staff and the ship was able to get under way one hour after the collision occurred."
