2nd Lt. (temp. Capt.) Roger Henry Gartside Neville, D. of Corn. L.I. and R.F.C.
For conspicuous skill and gallantry. He is a fine leader of patrol work, and has done much to keep enemy machines away from our lines. On one occasion, flying in a rain storm, after nearly colliding with an enemy machine he pursued it and brought it down half a mile from an enemy aerodome.
