Military Cross (MC)
2nd Lt. Conn Standish O'Grady, R.F.C., Spec. Res.
   For conspicuous gallantly and devotion to duty in leading fighting patrols against superior numbers of enemy aircraft. He has himself brought down three enemy machines completely out of control, and others were seen to be destroyed, and his dash and determination when outnumbered by the enemy have continually won the highest praise.
