"Flight Sergeant MacKenzie has participated in many attacks on the enemy as air bomber. He has always shown great determination to press home his attack and hit the primary target. On many occasions excellent photographs have been obtained, which reflect great credit to him. He took part in the daylight raids on Le Creusot and Milan, and also in the night raid on Genoa. On the 22nd October, 1942, in the raid on Milan, the aircraft flew at a very low altitude and Flight Sergeant MacKenzie released his bombs with unerring skill in the middle of a large factory, which was left in flames. He has set a high standard in bomb aiming and has always displayed great devotion to duty."
