	Able Seaman Lloyd Murchison Gordon (V/1267)
		His next sailing was on the newly built corvette HMCS Oakville, where for more than a year and a half he served as a gunner down in southern waters.
		This action was in the Caribbean Sea when with complete disregard for his own safety, and in order to get his gun back into action, he immediately removed the hot charge of cordite from the breach of the gun when the third charge misfired, throwing it with all his might into the sea.
		He returned to sea aboard HMCS Athabaskan, which was torpedoed and sunk in the morning hours of April 29, 1944, “still firing at two German destroyers that struck at her in the haze of a starlit night”.
