Citation:
"This airman enlisted 8th October 1942 and is employed as an instrument repairer. As such, it is his responsibility that all aircraft leaving the station are, at all times, completely charged with oxygen. He has been unswerving in his loyalty and devotion to duty, working long and arduous hours well above those required by normal duties. Through his untiring efforts, it has been possible to ensure that all aircraft have been properly equipped before taking off. His initiative, persistence and unceasing cooperation are highly commendable."
