Citation for award of the British Empire Medal:
BOON, Allan, Leading Seaman, V16252, BEM, RCNVR, HMCS NANOOSE - Awarded as per Canada Gazette of 10 June 1944 and London Gazette of 8 June 1944.
"This rating has displayed outstanding devotion to duty while serving in HMCS NANOOSE since joining the ship 1 May 1941. Recently when it was necessary to fit sixteen Bangor Minesweepers with mine-sweeping gear within a few days, he accomplished tasks over and above his normal duties, taking charge of a party and showing marked ingenuity and ability. Throughout, his cheerfulness and leadership have been an inspiration to his fellow seamen."
