"Lt. Oliver Manners Sutton, S. Lane. R., Spec. Res. and R.F.C.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On at least eight separate occasions he showed great determination in attacking hostile aircraft, destroying them or driving them down out of control, and he has also done very good work in other flights by preventing hostile aircraft from getting on the tails of other machines. On one occasion, though his gun jammed, he dived three times and drove off an enemy machine." Supplement to the London Gazette, 26 July 1917 (30204/7640) |
