Unit:

No. 192 Squadron, Royal Air Force

Awarded on:

October 19th, 1943

Recommendation:
"This Flight Engineer has completed 28 sorties and his energy,cheerfulness and understanding of his aircraft has been of the highest order throughout.His keenness to enter on operational flying is outstanding and Cromar seems happiest when flak is bursting near his aircraft, and on other occasions when the element of danger is great. This spirit has had a tremendously good effect on the morale of the remainder of the crew. The care and interest that he takes in his aircraft, whether it is on the ground or in the air, has always been of an exceptionally high standard and has been an inspiring influence to the ground maintenance personnel as well as giving added confidence to his aircrew."
