Russian Medal for Former City Clerk Sparks Interest
Bill Keith, a former city clerk, received a specially minted medal from Russia's Embassy in Ottawa for his service during World War II. He served aboard HMCS Nabob from 1944 to 1944 and aided convoys to northern Russia. The medal is not part of Canada’s honours system, so it cannot be worn with official decorations. Keith seeks others who applied for and received the medal.
