DFC 'On the 28th of August, when on reconnaissance, this Officer was attacked by five Fokker biplanes; with characteristic boldness and skill he drove them off, shooting down one out of control. He then continued reconnaissances, sending down calls on three hostile batteries (which were neutralized), six parties of transport, and two trains. During recent operations this Officer has rendered most valuable service in sending down calls, displaying keeness of observation and great power of endurance. While on this duty he never hesitated to attack the enemy as opportunity occurred.'
