“This officer has been on 25 successful attacks against enemy targets including 5 on Berlin. He has proved himself to be a keen reliable gunner and a worthy member of his crew. On one occasion when attacking Berlin he was jointly shooting down an Me. 110 which made a determined attack against his aircraft.
He has displayed outstanding keenness at all times and has been a decided asset to his Captain. This keenness has not only been confined to his operational activities; he has displayed an energetic interest in the training of other members of his Section.”
