DFC 'Although this officer only joined his squadron some two months ago, his outstanding ability soon qualified him for the leadership of a patrol; and he has already acted as leader in 23 offensive fights. His conduct of these patrols, and the results he has achieved, testify to his exceptional interprise, and fully justifies his early appointment to the responsible position of leader.'
