"On the occasion of the explosions at the Naval Magazine, Bedford, Halifax, this Rating was in charge of the Naval Fire Brigade at the Naval Armament Depot. Immediately upon receipt of the alarm, he took his men and equipment into the magazine area and attempted to combat the conflagration. His courage and coolness were an inspiration to his men. He remained with his department, fighting the fire until the situation was out of control and only retired after repeated orders had been relayed to him to evacuate the area."
