Citation:
"Flying Officer Agrios has taken part in many attacks on German and Italian targets. In times of stress his cool efficiency and unfailing accuracy have been a constant source of encouragement and confidence to his crew. On one occasion when the aircraft in which he was flying was badly damaged and losing height rapidly he calmly navigated the bomber through a lengthy stretch of enemy territory to a position behind our lines where the crew were able to leave by parachute safely."
