Notes | Distinguished Service Medal (DSM) GV1 CPO John White Cameron, Royal New Zealand Navy, WW2 DSM citation- "The distinguished service during the war in the Far East. Chief Petty Officer Cameron has served in H.M.N.Z - S. 'Gambia' during the whole period that she has been operating with the British Pacific Fleet. This included the bombardments on Miyoko and Kamaishi, and several engagements with enemy warcraft. "As the senior torpedo rating, Chief Petty Officer Cameron has set a fine example of tireless attention to duty and cool, collected efficiency. When the 'Kamakaze' threat was properly appreciated and the vital necessity for a proper after control and conning position was realised, it was this Chief Petty Officer, working day and night, who was largely responsible for creating, in an incredibly short time, all the manifold communications required." John White Cameron, DSM (1913-1986) Served- NZ Division Royal Navy and Royal New Zealand Navy Served- Abyssinia, Palestine, Spanish Civil War WW2- Atlantic, Pacific Theatres | |||||||||||||||||||||||
