The son of Thomas Walter and Iris Amy Nash, Thomas Walter Nash scored eight victories flying the Sopwith Camel in 1918.

Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC)

Lt. Thomas Walter Nash (Sea Patrol).
After four months' excellent service as a pilot this officer was appointed Flight Commander. His brilliant leadership has fully justified his selection. On a recent patrol his formation accounted for six enemy planes, he himself destroying two. We suffered no casualties, mainly owing to the skill and judgment displayed by Lieutenant Nash.
