| Military Cross (MC) Bar |
T./Capt. Anthony Herbert William Wall, M.C., Midd'x R., and R.F.C.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. By his initiative and skilful manoeuvring he led six hostile machines to an encounter with our own formation, during which five out of the six hostile machines were destroyed and driven down. He had been equally successful the day before in misleading hostile aircraft, and his originality and fearless example were of the greatest value to his squadron.
(M.C. gazetted 18th July, 1917.)
