Lt. (T./Capt.) Norman Craig Millman,
R.F.C., Spec. Res.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Whilst on offensive patrol, he encountered a hostile formation of 12 machines. He led his patrol in such brilliant fashion that five of the enemy machines were shot down either in flames or out of control, two of these being accounted for by himself and his observer. Previously to this, he had carried out voluntarily a reconnaissance, from which he succeeded in returning with most valuable information, despite the fact that he had been heavily engaged by machine-gun fire during the greater part of the flight. Later, he commanded a formation on one flank of the attack during a daylight bombing raid on a hostile aerodrome, and carried out his task in a most dashing and successful manner. He has at all times displayed powers of leadership of the highest order.
