Flt. Lieut, (act. Flt. Cdr.) Charles Roger Lupton, D.S.C., R.N.A.S.
For conspicuous bravery and skill in leading bombing formations, especially on 26th March, 1918, when he carried out at low altitudes four bombing raids on enemy communications. In the course of these raids he caused great damage to enemy transport, and inflicted serious casualties on large numbers of their reinforcements. He has carried out very many bombing raids, and by his courage and resource has instilled a spirit of confidence and daring in all those who have flown with him.
