Hi Chris
"Royal Air Force Communiques 1918" by Tom Donovan Publishing shows Lt.G. Pilditch with 73 Sqn. on 14 April.18 when on that date he had driven down an E.A. out of control. Also with 73 Sqn. on 11 June.18 when he accounted for 1 E.A. destroyed. His M.C. was registered in the London Gazette on 22 June.18, "Honours and Awards, Army, Navy and Air Force 1914 - 1920", J.B.Hayward & Son 1979,(reprint of the 1920 edition).

He also brought down an EA OOC on 22/3/18 and was himself forced to land by ground fire near Albert during a strafing mission on 26/3/1918 (Camel)
