Mentioned in Dispatches

Period:: Second World War (1939-1945)
Rank:: Lieutenant Commander
Unit:: H.M.S. Bulldog (H91), Royal Navy
Awarded on:: August 9th, 1940

"The Bulldog proceeded to take me in tow in the fog which had now become very thick. I consider that the handling of the Bulldog was a supreme display of seamanship and ship-handling, in that she had Kelly in tow and was proceeding ahead by 2340 hours, no less than one hour after the explosion and during which she carried out a submarine hunt. For this I consider the greatest credit to be due to her Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Commander J. P. Wisden."
