DFC 'On 24th August Lieutenant Peters, with Lieutenant Traill as observer, in company with another machine, attacked seven hostile aeroplanes; they succeeded in crashing two and drove down a thrid out of control. This is only one instance out of manh in which these officers have displayed marked skill and gallantry in attacking and destroying enemy aeroplanes. Their keeness and devotion to duty in aerial combats and in attacking ground targets sets a fine example to others.'
