| Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur |
| "A pilot of remarkable skill and courage who in all circumstances sets an example of audacity and sang-froid. While returning from a protection mission, he had to sustain a very difficult engagement against a group of enemy planes; he managed to down one of his adversaries in flames, in its own lines, bringing to three the number of his victories. One wound, four citations." Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur citation, 12 June 1918 |
