| Notes | Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM) Awarded to 935098 Sgt JE Robbins, RAF The Distinguished Flying Medal was instituted on 3 June 1918 and was awarded to non-commissioned-officers and men for an act or acts of valour, courage or devotion to duty performed whilst flying in active operations against the enemy in the same conditions as the DFC for officers. This decoration was awarded to Sergeant Robbins in May 1941 when he was an NCO, some time before he was commissioned. Later, in 1943, he did a second tour with the Pathfinder Force with Wing Commander Fraser-Barron DSO and Bar, DFC and Bar, DFM and Bar. "Fraser-Barron represented the greatest contribution to the conclusion of the war of any of the services from NZ" (JER) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
