Serjt. Henry Hollingdrake Maddocks, from Berkhamsted School O.T.C., to be temporary 2nd Lieutenant for duty with the Royal Flying Corps on 5 August 1916.
Military Cross (MC)
2nd Lt. Henry Hollingrake Maddocks, Gen. List, and R.F.C.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Whilst attacking two hostile aeroplanes he saw an enemy machine attacking one of his patrol. He at once attacked the enemy machine, which was seen to crash. On one occasion during a fight between seven enemy machines and a patrol of our scouts, he engaged one of the enemy machines causing it to drop from 6,000 feet to 1,000 feet, where it caught fire and dived vertically down. On two other occasions he drove down an enemy machine after a short fight. He has done consistent and continual good work.
