Awarded on:

June 7th, 1940

Citation:
"Since the beginning of the war Flying Officer Robertson has taken part in many hazardous operations and his tactical skill and complete disregard of danger have been outstanding. One night in May 1940, he was captain of an aircraft ordered to attack a very important and heavily defended traffic junction. Sighting a long column of enemy transport approaching the point, he successfully attacked it from a very low altitude regardless of enemy fire and the risk of fragments from his own bombs."
