“Flt. Sub-Lieut. Thomas Arthur Warne-Browne, R.N.A.S.
Obs. Sub-Lieut. Frederick Stratton Russell, R.N.A.S.
For the skill and determination displayed by them on the 18th March, 1918, when carrying out a reconnaissance over Bruges and Blankenberghe under heavy anti-aircraft fire. Both these officers have taken part in many reconnaissances over the enemy's lines, often in face of heavy anti-aircraft fire and attacks by hostile aircraft, and have always displayed great gallantry and determination.”
