Lt. Robert McLaughlin.
On the morning of 8th August this officer
successfully bombed enemy transport and
engaged three machine-gun sections, killing
and scattering these detachments. Later
on, while bombing a dump, he was attacked
by eight Fokkers, who shot him down in
flames. Except for slight burns he escaped
injury, and, returning to his squadron, he
was once more flying in the afternoon,
having specially requested to be allowed to
do so. A splendid example of courage and
determination.
