DFC 'This Officer has proved himself an able and determined leader of offensive patrols. In carrying out these raids he has met with conspicuous success, heavy damage being inflicted on enemy material and personnel. This has been due in the main to his brilliant leadership and skilful navigation. Captain Cummings possesses, in a marked degree, courage, combined with cool judgment.'
