He was appointed as a Leading Seaman (RCN). (He was killed on 01/12/1940 when HMCS Saguenay (under command of Lieutenant-Commander G.L. Miles, RCN) was torpedoed 300 miles west of Ireland by the Italian submarine Argo while escorting Convoy HG-47, and managed to return to Barrow-in-Furness largely under her own power, but with 21 dead and without most of her bow.)
