Major Cragg, commanding his fighter squadron, escorted a bomber formation attacking an Airdrome.

With all his squadron engaged, he observed ten additional enemy fighters about to deliver a coordinated attack on our bombers.

He then acted as sole fighter escort for the bombers on the return journey, shooting down one enemy plane and damaging another en route.

In deliberately engaging ten enemy fighters single-handed, Major Cragg acted with conspicuous gallantry and contributed greatly to the success of the mission.
