Lieutenant

Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve

Age 29

Awarded MENTION IN DISPATCHES as per London Gazette 14 June 1945

"This Officer, who lost his life at the time of the destruction of HMCS Alberni, consistently displayed coolness in action and unswerving devotion to duty. His organizational and training ability were largely responsible for the successful shooting down of a JU-88 in July, 1944. Lieutenant Grant's exemplary conduct was always a credit to the service as a whole and an inspiration to the men serving under him."

``Although I was only four when my father died, I remember well Ian Bell`s visits to our family afterwards and kept in touch with him as I got older - to the point of returning early from my honeymoon to see him and his wife (then) Pat in Toronto.

His death was the closing of a chapter for me.
