On 28 November 1977, MCpl. Roderick Campbell, MCpl. Gilbert Gaudreault and Cpl. Clement Lemay of 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron, Comox, British Columbia, saved a woman from a capsized fishing vessel in Seymour Narrows near Campbell River, British Columbia. The woman was trapped in the engine room of the craft. The rescuers dived under water and got into the vessel through a wheelhouse window broken by MCpl. Gaudreault. In almost total darkness they scrambled among rigging and fishing nets to find the victim and brought her to the surface. They then searched in vain for two other missing persons until their air supply was exhausted.
