"These members of aircraft crew have each completed many operational missions and have displayed the highest standard of keenness and and determination throughout. In November 1944, they participated in the decisive attack on the German warship "Tirpitz," a target against which all of them had previously been in action. On this occasion the battleship was sunk. The success achieved reflects the greatest credit on the efforts of these members of aircraft crew who, in their various capacities as pilots, navigators and air bombers displayed skill, courage and resolution of a high order."
