"In April, 1940, this airman was air gunner of an aircraft engaged in bombing operations against Stavanger aerodrome. On the return flight his aircraft was attacked for sixty-five minutes by Messerschmitt fighters but by his skill in the handling of his gun and his accurate instructions to the pilot when to take avoiding action, he was to a great extent responsible for the safe return of his aircraft. Throughout the combat Cpl. Yeomans showed great coolness and courage."
