GALLANT WORK
SERVICE IN NAVY AWARDS TO NEW ZEALANDERS (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The Navy Department has received advice that Stoker Bruce Evans Bennett, a New Zealander, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for gallant service in successful patrols while serving in the submarine Torbay. The Distinguished Service Medal has also been awarded to Able Seaman A. Horsfall, R.N.Z.N., for good service in an attack on enemy ships. Lieutenant - commander R. S. Cameron, R.N.Z.N.V.R., has been mentioned in dispatches for good service in minesweeping. Lieutenant-Commander Cameron was in the news in March when the trawler Negro, of which he was in command, shot down, without loss or damage to itself, a Junkers 88 which was attempting to attack it. He is well known in Auckland, where he was on the staff of the Bank of New Zealand and was a lieu-tenant-commander in the R.N.V.R. before the war. He went to England early in the war and was appointed a sub-di visional commander in charge of 20 minesweepers. He has a wife and daughter, who reside at Milford.
