Military Cross (MC)
T./2nd Lt. Arthur Rex Hurden Moss, Gen. List & R.F.C.
   For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an engagement with several large hostile formations the two machines with which he was patrolling were put out of action. In spite, however, of being left alone he continued to attack, and engaged the enemy in so determined a manner that he and his pilot between them destroyed one and drove three others down completely out of control. He has performed several other fine feats and has at all times set a most inspiring example by his dash and tenacity.
Supplement to the London Gazette, 9 January 1918 (30466/632)
