Lt. (A./Capt.) Andrew MacGregor (Arg. &
Suth'd Highrs.). (FRANCE)
This officer has accounted for five enemy aircraft and has proved himself an exceptionally capable leader of patrols, notably on 14th August, when his formation of five machines was attacked by eight enemy aircraft. By his skilful leadership five of the latter were brought down without his own formation sustaining a single casualty.
