Officer - Order of the British Empire

JEFFREY, Francis Milne, A/Cdr, RCNVR

Issued: 5-Jan-1945, Canada Gazette

"On the commencement of hostilities, this Officer immediately offered his services. Though not accepted for active service, his services were utilized by the Toronto Division as a lecturer in Seamanship and he devoted faithfully three nights a week, or more, to this instruction without pay and without other recognition. When requested to accept active service in a junior and routine capacity as a recruiting officer, he unhesitatingly accepted the responsibilities as a pure matter of patriotism. When an officer was required for full-time work in connection with the sea cadets, he was selected and has performed these duties in an outstanding manner, not considering hours of work. Under his supervision the Sea Cadet Corps have increased from 37 to 90, and the number of Cadets from 4,500 to 15,000 and he has been spoken of highly from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island."
