Recommendation:
"Since he joined the squadron on 19th May 1941, this Non-Commissioned Officer has been a very sound Wireless Operator and has put up consistently good work. He has never had a wireless failure and his skill has frequently been the cause of his captain being able to bring the aeroplane back safely under extremely difficult circumstances. I consider this Non-Commissioned Officer's unfailing courage and devotion to duty merit my recommendation for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal."

Recommended when he had flown 27 sorties (206 operational hours.
