Mentioned in Despatches

RITSON-BENNETT, William Martin, Prov LS, A-3455, RCNR, HMCS Louisburg

Issued: 8-Jan-1944, Canada Gazette

"While the water was rising above his knees, after HMCS Louisburg was torpedoed, Able Seaman Ritson-Bennett stopped to unstrap another rating from his Oerlikon gun, thus saving the man's life. His gallantry is in keeping with the highest traditions of the Royal Canadian Navy."
