M.B.E. London Gazette 8 June 1944.
The original Recommendation states: ‘This officer joined the Canadian Army Active in September 1940 and proceeded overseas in February 1941. He has been in charge of all pay services for the Canadian Forestry Corps since July 1941, and has administered and supervised the work of paymasters attached to all other units of the Canadian Forestry Corps. His duties and responsibilities have been a far greatest scope than those of a unit paymaster. He has consistently displayed outstanding ability, initiative and leadership.
Clarence Ayearst was invested with his M.B.E. by H.M. King George VI at Buckingham Palace on 4 July 1944.
Sold with the original Central Chancery letter regarding the Investiture at Buckingham Palace, named to the recipient and dated 21 June 1944; named Central Chancery enclosure letter for the Warrant of Appointment to the Order of the British Empire; and a letter of congratulations to the recipient on the award of his M.B.E. from Brigadier P. Kelly, Chief Paymaster, Canadian Army Overseas, dated 9 June 1944.
