Citation:
"Since the beginning of the war this officer has conducted 28 operations over Norway, Holland, France, Belgium and Germany. In September, 1940, Flight Lieutenant Lemon with great courage in the face of intense antiaircraft fire, dived to 500 feet over Antwerp Harbour and released a stick of bombs which caused a large brick building to blow up and burn furiously. His aircraft was considerably damaged by an anti-aircraft shell which caused a fire, but by skilful piloting a successful landing was made. By his courage, persistent determination and outstanding skill this officer has at all times set an example of the highest order."
