"This airman broke cover under shell fire to rescue wounded personnel from a Dakota aircraft which had received a direct hit. It was largely due to his courage and devotion to duty that all of the wounded were rescued. On every occasion when casualties arose due to enemy shelling and mortar fire in the vicinity he was always ready to remove casualties to safety and assist where possible. His complete disregard for danger was an inspiration to all airmen."
