Squadron Leader's Appreciation His Squadron Leader's appreciation follows.—

I feel his loss myself very deeply, as I got to know him so well, and had the greatest admiration for him, his capacities and courage, and for the very excellent work he had done for the squadron.

He had raised the reputation of the squadron to such high levels.
