Lt. (T./Capt.) Keith Day Pearce Murray, R.F.C., Spec. Res.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on numerous occasions. He has displayed the utmost skill and fearlessness in ranging our batteries on hostile battery positions.
Most of this work he had to carry out at very low altitude and under very heavy fire, owing to the fact that the target was very well camouflaged, but, in spite of being repeatedly attacked and his machine several times damaged by anti-air-craft and machine gun fire. He was invariably successful.
