| "On the 6th June 1917 he attacked and drove down one of four hostile scouts. This machine dived nose first into the ground and was destroyed. On the afternoon of the 15th June 1917 he was leading a patrol of three scouts and encountered a formation of ten enemy machines. During the combat which ensued he forced one machine down completely out of control. Next he attacked at a range of about 30 yards another hostile scout. The pilot of this machine was killed, and it went down completely out of control. This officer has at all times shown the greatest bravery and determination."
