"This officer has been engaged in active operations for the past eight months and has a magnificent record of devotion, coolness and enterprise in the execution of his duty. One night in May 1940 he was captain of an aircraft engaged in an attack on enemy transport convoys behind the battle zone. He sighted a convoy of some two hundred verhicles, and with the greatest coolness and deliberation in the face of enemy fire, he descended to a low height and made four seperate runs over the column. He secured several direct hits."
