He is Lieut. John F. House, brother of Mirs. T. C. G. Pearson, of Shanghai. The award was for "gallantry and courage in operations off the Norwegian coast," while serving in H.M.S. Auckland. John House was born in Weihaiwei during the last war while his father, Capt. A. E. House, M, (Retired), was serving as Resident Senior Naval Officer at that port. Receiving his early education in China, he subsequently went home to the Imperial Service College and passed into the Royal Navy.
