Captain J. A. Liddell, 3rd Argylle, for most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the 31st July. When on a Balzon-Per STANDARD 28th, Aug. 8 Hring reconnaissance over .tend, Bruges, and, Ghent he was Pakhol & Haiphong-Per KEIJO MARU, severely wounded, his right thigh being broken, osasing momentary unconsciousness; but by a great effort he recovered partial control Straits, after the machine had dropped nearly 8,000 ft. Notwithstanding his collapsed state he succeeded, although continually fired at, in completing his course, and brought his aeroplane into our lines half an hour after he had been wounded. The difficulties he had in saving his machine and life his observer statea cannot readily be expressed, for as the control wheel and the throttle control had been smashed, also one of the undercarriage struts, it would seem incredible that he could have accomplished the task.
