McQouid-Mason is another particularly outstanding officer of the flotilla,
whose experience since his appointment in May 1942 have covered a wide range
of duties including, during the course of 19 operations, First Lieutenant and
Commanding Officer of individual craft and latterly as Commanding Officer of
the Expedition.
This officer's qualities as a seaman and a leader early came into prominence,
and on one occasion when the ship in which he was serving as First Lieutenant
(MGB 501) was destroyed at sea by an internal explosion, DDOD(I) was was
onboard at the time was impressed with his cool ability. He accompanied the
latter below decks in search of survivors and subsequently tended the injured
and made preparations for abandoning ship.
After a short detachment in command of a specially constructed fast fishing
vessel attached to DDOD(I)'s Bay of Biscay flotilla, Lieut Mason played a
leading role in a series of trials to determine the best of several types of
small surf-boats constructed by DDOD(I) for carriage onboard MGBs. Here
his natural gift for seamanship was evident.
Subsequently he returned to the 15th MGB Flotilla where his judgement, ability
and reliability in command of operations have brought him into special
prominence.
