"During Korean operations, he inspired the gunnery quarters of HMCS Iroquois by his fine example of courage and leadership. When under fire, by his coolness, presence of mind and determination, his control of the quarters caused enemy shore batteries to be defeated. Many bombardments were very successful due in large part to his careful preparations and devotion to duty."
