"Flying Officer McNulty as wireless operator has taken part in operational flying since May 1943. Throughout this period he has consistently displayed great devotion to duty, coolness and courage. He has participated in two attacks on enemy submarines. On an occasion after his own aircraft had attacked a U-boat, and the depth charges failed to release, he immediately gave directions to another aircraft to proceed to the scene, giving his directions in plain language until the relief had sighted the enemy submarine."
