Flying over the German lines, Lieutenant W. R. Freeman, of the Manchester Regiment and Royal Flying Corps, located the position of batteries, and conveyed the information by wireless messages from his aeroplane to the British artillery. Although the enemys bullets pierced his propeller and planes, he remained aloft for more than five hours during the day. For his gallantry, ability, and the very valuable work he performed, Lieutenant Freeman was deservedly awarded the M.C. |
