Distinguished Flying Cross 'Between the 8th and 11th August, this officer carried out six contact patrols at very low altitudes and in face of heavy machine gun fire. No difficulty deters this officer from accomplishing his task. On 11th August, while subjected to heavy machine gun fire, he flew for an hour and half over a certain area and eventually established the position of our line; this was the more difficult owing to the low visibility at the time.'
