"For consistent devotion above and beyond the call of duty. Whilst in charge of the Radio Section, Commander Strange has written some one hundred and fifty successful broadcasts dealing with Naval life and affairs. In his capacity as Assistant Director of Naval Information, he has taken a keen interest in the administration of this Directorate. He has produced numerous articles and booklets of definite and, in some cases, long-term value to the Naval Service, and for three years has written the Royal Canadian Naval supplement to the Canadian Geographic Magazine.
