Distinguished Flying Cross
Flight Lieutenant John Bernard COAXES (106216),
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 114 Squadron.
This officer has completed* many sorties over France, the Low Countries and North Africa. He has at all times displayed great determination in pressing home his attacks. This was amply demonstrated in bombing attacks on enemy airfields and docks at Tunis and Bizerta. His skill and leadership have set an inspiring example.
