Flying Officer Vincent Roy GLOVER (CAN/7.14713), R.C.A.F., 420 (R.C.A.F.) Sqn.
In October, 1944, this officer piloted an aircraft in an attack on Homberg. Whilst over the target the aircraft sustained much damage. The port wing, two petrol tanks and the elevators were affected. The aircraft became difficult to control. Nevertheless, Flying Officer Glover executed a successful bombing run and afterwards flew the damaged aircraft to base. This officer has completed a number of sorties and has set a fine example of courage and determination.
