RADIO OPERATOR A. L. FROST
GETS M.M.

ANOTHER PROVINCIAL Policeman
has gained honours in the field of battle.
This time it’s Radio Operator A. L.
(“Bud”) Frost (ex VGRF) who has been
awarded the Military Medal for gallantry.
Serving as sergeant with the Ist Canadian
Scottish, the citation reads:

“When the platoon commander fell dur-
ing fighting on the bridge, Sergt. A. L.
Frost (Alberni) took command and carried
on the attack, although the Germans at-

A. L. Frost

tempted to pin him down with cross-fire.
Spotting a wounded private from another
platoon, Frost crawled out under heavy
machine gun fire and carried him to a
sheltered position where his wounds were
treated.”

A host of friends who knew Bud Frost
along the west coast (he was formerly
attached to the police coastal patrol operat-
ing on the West Coast of Vancouver
Island) will be glad to hear that he is safe
and sound, and will be looking forward to
his early return to British Columbia.
