Rank:

Flight Lieutenant

Unit:

No. 14 Squadron, Royal Air Force

Awarded on:

November 4th, 1941

Recommendation:
"This officer has shown a continuous spirit of bravery and tenacity whilst on operations against the enemy. He has been with No.14 Squadron and on operations continuously since the beginning of hostilities in the Middle East and has thus completed over 70 sorties. In particular he has distinguished himself on reconnaissances both in the Western Desert and during the Eritrean campaign, on one occasion through bad weather going down to 500 feet over Massawa to obtain necessary photographs for a naval operation. Throughout all his bombing raids also his dash and leadership are a real guide and inspiration to his flight and squadron. "
