D.S.M. – London Gazette 20th November 1945:
‘For gallantry, skill and outstanding devotion to duty whilst serving in H.M. Submarines … Taciturn … in numerous successful patrols in trying climatic conditions in the Pacific, frequently carried out in shallow and difficult waters and in the presence of strong opposition.’
The recommendation states:
‘This rating has served as gunlayer of H.M.S. “TACITURN” during working up and three patrols. AP.C.4 class Japanese Submarine Chaser and old Dutch Submarine K.18 have been sunk by gunfire, a large hulk by torpedo and three schooners by demolition. Also in a combined action with H.M.S. “THOROUGH” a lugger and landing craft were sunk and landing craft and several godowns were damaged. His efficiency in laying the gun and taking charge of the guns crew under enemy fire has been of a high order and his devotion to duty and enthusiasm have set a fine example.’
King’s Commendation for Bravery – London Gazette 1st April 1941:
‘For brave conduct during an enemy air attack on Birkenhead.’
