I need to find the citation for my father's MC. He was John Howard Umney, awarded 1918.

From the London Gazette dated 16 September 1918:

UMNEY, 2nd Lieutenant Howard John; General List (No 22 Sqn):

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During recent operations he destroyed five enemy machines. By his untiring energy and keenness, both in the air and on the ground, he set a splendid example to other observers in the squadron, and greatly helped his pilot in successful encounters.

As an aside, he was a 13 victory ace observer and details can be found in the 'Aces' section. R.
