[5] He was awarded the Military Cross on 18 July, the citation read: 2nd Lt. Reginald Theodore Carlos Hoidge, R.G.A.
On many occasions he has attacked and destroyed or driven down hostile machines, and has taken part in twenty-four offensive patrols.
[8] Hoidge's final total included 23 successes over enemy fighters and only five over opposing two-seater reconnaissance planes.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in shooting down fourteen enemy aircraft in three and a half months.
After attacking a large formation of enemy aircraft, owing to engine trouble he was driven down to six hundred feet at least five miles from our lines, but managed to recross the lines at a height of five hundred feet, and so saved his machine.
