Lionel REES V.C., O.B.E., M.C., A.F.C., M.I.D. Sighting what he thought was a bombing party of our own aircraft returning from a bombing run, only to discover, as he approached to escort them, that they were 10 enemy machines. Captain Rees was attacked by one of the machines, and after a short fight, disappeared behind enemy lines, damaged. He was then attacked by five other aircraft at long range, but on coming closer, they dispersed. After seriously damaging two of the machines, he gave chase to another two, who he saw flying westwards. On getting closer, he got a wound in the thigh, which caused him to lose control of his aircraft, temporarily. When he managed to get it righted, he closed with the enemy, firing from the close range of a few yards, until all his ammunition was spent. He returned home, landing his machine safely in our lines.
