| Médaille Militaire |
| "Remarkable pilot, admired by both his leaders and his comrades for his courage, strength and coolness. On 6 August 1916 he put a Fokker to flight during a combat in which his plane was hit by two bullets. On 11 August he calmly carried out an artillery spotting mission amidst heavy shelling, until his observer was wounded. Then on 26 August he flew over attacking troops at low altitude in spite of the most unfavourable atmospheric circumstances. Already cited in orders three times." Médaille Militaire citation, 17 September 1916 |
