Captain Trower, Troop Commander, No.1 Troop, 57 Canadian Independent Field Squadron during the period 22 February to 6 March 1952, directed and supervised the construction of a divisional top priority road running two thousand two hundred yards in length. The importance of the completion of this road in an absolute minimum of time was so great that Captain Trower, in order to employ the limited amount of equipment available to the utmost advantage, placed his troop on a daily sixteen-hour work shift. The extremely poor sub-zero weather and several snowfalls during this period slowed the work considerably, rendering the quarry-work being carried out very dangerous. Notwithstanding this fact, this officer gave his all to the task, unsparingly, being present at all times to encourage his men, day and night, no effort seeming too great nor hours too long for him, resulting in the successful completion of this road. The true importance of this section of road was demonstrated in the rains and spring thaw which closely followed its completion. It provided the only road to three forward battalions from Widgeon Crossing for a period of ten days. The conduct and service of this officer throughout the Korean campaign has been exemplary and of the highest calibre. He has been personally responsible for the successful completion of several top priority engineer tasks while in support of units of 25 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group, materially aiding the actions of these units against the enemy.
