He was born in the Corps of Royal Engineers barracks at Chatham, England; and moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hal Lawrence fonds )〕 ==Career== Lawrence entered the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve as a Midshipman in 1939, and was promoted to Sub-lieutenant while serving aboard the Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS ''Alaunia''. He received Mention in Dispatches for service aboard HMCS ''Moosejaw'' during the battle of Convoy SC 42. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for leading HMCS ''Oakville'''s boarding party onto the sinking ''U-94'' during the battle of convoy TAW-15. The citation reads: :"Lieutenant Lawrence was in charge of a boarding party of two which attempted to prevent the scuttling of a U-boat. With complete disregard for his own safety, the Officer, accompanied by a Petty Officer, boarded the U-boat and, having subdued the enemy crew, he took action in an endeavor to prevent the scuttling of the U-boat, notwithstanding the fact that it was then sinking. His spirited and determined conduct was worthy of the highest traditions of the Royal Canadian Navy." Lawrence was subsequently promoted to Lieutenant and executive officer of HMCS ''Oakville''. Lawrence was next assigned as gunnery officer in the commissioning crew of HMCS ''Sioux''. He was transferred from the volunteer reserve to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1945 and became executive officer of HMCS ''Sioux''. He received a Master's degree from the University of Ottawa before retiring from the Navy in 1965.〔
