Distinguished Service Cross

LAWRENCE, Harold Ernest Thomas (Hal), Lt , RCNVR, HMCS Oakville

Issued: 26-Dec-1942, Canada Gazette

"For gallant services in action with enemy submarines while serving in HMCS Oakville. Lieutenant Lawrence was in charge of a boarding party of two which attempted to prevent the scuttling of a U-boat. With complete disregard for his own safety, this officer, accompanied by a Petty Officer, boarded the U-boat and, having subdued the enemy crew, he took action in an endeavour to prevent the scuttling of the U-boat, notwithstanding the fact that it was then sinking. His spirited and determined conduct was worthy of the highest traditions of the Royal Canadian Navy."
