* Since being awarded a Bar to the
Distinguished Flying Cross this officer has completed numerous sorties and has
continued to set the highest example of courage and devotion to duty. He is a
brilliant and fearless leader, whose iron determination in the face of the
fiercest opposition has won great praise. One night in February. 1944,
Squadron Leader Martin captained an aircraft detailed to attack a target in
Southern France. During the run up to the target his aircraft was repeatedly
hit. One member of the crew was killed and another one was wounded. Squadron
Leader Martin pressed home his attack, however, and afterwards flew the
damaged bomber to an airfield where he effected a masterly landing in
difficult circumstances. He displayed great skill and resolution throughout.

* This officer has taken part in a
large number of sorties and has displayed a high standard of leadership and
skill throughout. His determination to press home his attacks has always, been
apparent and has won him much success. One evening in June, 1944, he played a
prominent part in an operation against a concentration of locomotives which
were attacked with good effect. This officer has at all times displayed
outstanding devotion to duty.
** In April, 1941, this pilot was detailed to
participate in an attack on a target at IJmuiden. In spite of intense
anti-aircraft opposition which forced his leader to take violent evasive action,
Sergeant McPhee kept close company with his leader so that both were successful
in bombing the target from a height of only 50 feet. On leaving the target area,
Sergeant McPhee was attacked by enemy fighters who followed him for a
considerable distance across the North Sea. Although his aircraft was damaged,
he succeeded in flying back to his base and landing safely. Sergeant McPhee has
carried out numerous operational missions and has displayed great courage and
determination throughout.

* As pilot and bomb aimer respectively,
Flight Sergeant Morris and Sergeant [Peter James] Hayward have undertaken
many sorties against targets in North Africa, Sardinia, Sicily and Italy.
They have displayed great skill and determination throughout and their many
successes have been well illustrated by photographic evidence. An excellent
team, these airmen have set a fine example of courage and devotion to duty.
[As published in London Gazette]
Flight Sergeant Morris has completed 28 operations since joining the
Squadron in March 1943, and has attacked targets in North Africa, Sardinia,
Sicily and Italy. His operations against the enemy have been carried out
with outstanding results as is borne out by the photographs he has taken
when bombing. On the night of 25-26 August 1943, Flight Sergeant Morris was
detailed to bomb the marshalling yards at the Italian port of Taranto. Under
intense light and heavy anti-aircraft fire, he attacked the target from
9,500 feet and dropped his bombs, scoring a direct hit in the yards and
starting many fires. Again, on the night of 28-29 August 1943, Flight
Sergeant Morris was detailed to locate and illuminate Taranto for the
attacking force of our bombers. He located the target under adverse weather
conditions and at 7,500 feet, in spite of heavy anti-aircraft fire, he
dropped his flares directly over the target area, thus enabling the bomber
force to make a successful attack. Again, his work is supported by
photographic evidence. Flight Sergeant Morris is an inspiration to other
members of the Squadron with his willingness, courage and devotion to duty.
