GRANT, Malcolm Seafield, Lieutenant, Posthumous Mention in Despatches, RCNVR, HMCS ALBERNI - Awarded as per London Gazette of 14 June 1945 (no Canada Gazette).

"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 abilities 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."
