Personal information
Award Citation as published in London Gazette on 14 Dec, 1940:
When the ship was shelled at point-blank range by a submarine, a number of men, including the Master, were killed or injured. After staying behind to see all others off, the Chief Officer was pulled into the water by the suction from a shell and was not picked up until some two hours later. He showed great coolness and courage throughout.
