Medals Awarded for WW1
Military Cross
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While cooperating with artillery, he was attacked by three triplanes. He was wounded and the controls of his machine damaged. He out manoeuvred the enemy, reported his observation to his battery by wireless, and returned to his aerodrome. On landing, owing to the damage to his machine, he crashed, but, although much weakened, by loss of blood, extricated his observer from the wreckage. On another occasion, while on photography, he was attacked by six triplanes. one of these his observer shot down out of control, while the remainder were forced to withdraw. He then continued his work. At all times he has set a very fine example of courage and determination.'
