Médaille Militaire |
"First class pursuit pilot, model non-commissioned officer, tenacious and brave. He first distinguished himself in artillery, then in aviation where he imbued his comrades with great spirit, downing two balloons and an enemy plane in a short space of time. On 14 September, he downed a two-seater reconnaissance plane, reporting therewith his fourth victory. Four citations." Médaille Militaire citation, 9 October 1918 |
