Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He has performed continuous gallant work at very low altitudes in almost impossible weather. Whilst flying alone in a mist he forced an enemy aeroplane to land. On two occasions, flying at an altitude of 200 feet he made very valuable reconnaissances, and his reports on the general situation were of the greatest value. His leadership is excellent and he has set a high example to his flight.'

He has shown conspicuous skill and determination when escorting low flying bombing patrols.'
