"During the Battle of Dieppe on 19th August 1942, this officer accompanied his Flight Commander on two low reconnaissances over the approaches to the battle area. During the second of these he showed great skill and complete disregard for personal safety in strafing anti-aircraft positions to protect the Flight Commander. In so doing, he silenced several guns, inflicted numerous casualties and damaged an RDF station. In this action his aircraft was badly damaged but with defective engine he returned to base and made a successful crash landing."
