He has been instrumental in destroying six enemy aircraft. In spite of the fact that on three occasions he has returned with his aircraft very badly damaged through enemy cannon fire, he has immediately taken off in another, aircraft to lead his squadron on patrol. Squadron Leader Badger has displayed great courage and resolution."
